Haha... This is fun! Everyone is kinda "beef-up" like back when jdulmage made his comment. It's like a deja-vue experience! (JDULMAGE- How does it feel to have a clone? hehe JK). More seriously, every OS has it's own specs, advantages and disadvantages. It's like comparing apples to oranges. If DavidNewbie likes to play games; of course, it's better to stick with Win98 or WinMe (franckly, I don't know why you did install Win2000 in the first place thought, unless you don't know nothing about NT or Win2000 back then). Anyways, more and more games compagnies are going to support Win2000 as well (Q3, Diablo, AoE, etc) as Win9X. So you can't say that Win2000 can't be a gaming OS. Win2000 can do what Win9X can but not the other way around! I use Win2000 because I've got two cpus on one board (that's one reason why on Win2000, I NEVER CRASH since I've installed it! )and Win9x can't manage it. On a more social-economic note, weither it's Win98 or Win2000 it doesnt really matters coz in the end, it's benefits the same thing: the Gate empire! Muhaha!

Why do we waste valuable time and space in a thread like this?

Sorry to say nagual & INFERNO2000 but that asus cusl2 is slower then my BX hehe

Not when it's set up like mine
 
I agree about the BX being better at stock speeds(133), but I'm running at 159mhz. Mine will beat your BX
 
Also, Bios Revision 1003.004 and .006 increased memory performance by an additional 5%

shs : nothing a couple of driver updates and inf files wont fix if youre talking bout the slight slight memory performance boost bx has over i815.
also the cusl2 has more features than bx..ie. ata100 (just one example).
also..id like for you to compare your fps to mine and lotsa fps is all i care bout
*just had to get the last word*
 
oh..just saw infernos post

hah
Packard Bell 286 w 512 kbz o' ram, no sound but i made some drivers to play wavs over the pc speaker! What about the good ol' 11'' monitor, dot matrix and the keyboard as big as a skateboard!
 
[This message has been edited by CrazyKillerMan (edited 15 November 2000).]

Strange thread... still.. anyone ever heard of an Osboune (I think that what it is) ? One of the first 'portable' computers - not ! The kb flips down on the front to reveal two 5 1/4" floppy drives and a tiny tiny lil monitor.
 
 
--Cynan.

i've heard of the Osbourne, its about 7 inches think and the front comes open to reveal a KB and the drives and monitor you described

I have just pulled out my old Sinclair Spectrum I switched it on an hour ago and its still booting now

LOL
OMG....

ahhh....nothing like a pointless thread to get us to rummage through our junk! Dust off the old keyboard and see how many secs you can shave off your boot time....ahhh sweet ass dos....i love autoexec.bat!!!
