xp professional

[You-Suk|BuF]

i'm just curious how many of you are using the new windows version.
i'm using XP since yesterday and i have to say it's running smooth , 1 thing i noticed though was a drop in framerate
i went from 80+ fps in UT to 60/70+ fps..

my question is:
who is gonna use it and if you 're already using it what doo you think about the new os ??

thnx

you may want to do a forum search for that. its been done, and more then once.

Ididn't think you could run ne games with XP Pro

Wrong, a number of people here do cat. get your facts straight before posting please.
XP dosnt support older Hardware (3dfx video cards) but Does newer software (UT).

i did the search thingy, but nothing came up
yeh a lot of questions about 98/me/2000 but nothing about XP

maybe you need to change your search paramters. (IE: use differant wording) trust me, its there.

found them, all 6 of them
but most of them are about the os itself and not how it is acting during gameplay (in this case UT)
--> and that's what i want to know

xp pro is bases on NT, try useing the 9x based xp.

oh. well you may want to ask SC then (try PM-ing him). He seems to be the boards resident OS wizzard.
sorry i cant help more.

Hay Terminal, how can i get my facts straight if i don't know a thing about it, that was the reason i posted; to find out the truth.

And calm down.....I can post if i want.

You REALLY don't want me to treat you that way.

That's not my understanding. GLide doesn't seem to be supported on RTM or RC2.

That would be a good trick since there is no 9x based XP. Home Edition still uses the NT kernel - just doesn't have File Security (NTFS style) and a few other things that most Home users will never miss.

You-suk, thanks for using the search forums. I guess not all of us can be 1337-search-hax0rs like Terminal and get everything right the first time.
