For a while I had a dual boot system (very easy to do) so that I could play Mechwarrior 3 (it had problems installing on win2000). Other than a very old dos game and mech3 I never had any problems with games. Most of the newer games are compatible with win2000. If you apply the sp2 patch to windows 2000 there is now the option to run the game in "compatibility" mode: either windows 95 or windows 98. I use a Geforce2 400mx 64meg video card and it runs beautiful. I would download the latest video drivers from: www.nvidia.com and I would also apply all the patches/sp2/directx 8a from microsoft. I have used chessbase 8, fritz 6, and chessmaster 8000 on windows 2000 (the only one that had a problem was with chessmaster 8000 but they have fixed the problem in a patch). I love the crash free life... get windows 2000! Matt
