ahh...autoexec.bat my old friend
 
I remember feeling like I was the coolest guy around because I edited it to say something other than the normal C:\
 
Something like
"What is thy bidding? C:\"
 
*starts singing memories*
...............................
*remembers he can't sing worth crap and shuts up.*

David, like you, I used to think that the best OS to play games on reliably was windows98SE, until something recently happened that really made me think.
 
If you download the F1 2000 champions season demo from EA sports, try this. In windows 98se, when I head to turn one into the infield, I get some serious stutter. I also get this on the back straight. But out of curiousity, I tried it under win2k pro. NO STUTTER at all!! I was amazed. This also held true for Nascar Heat and Rally Championship. Converted for the most part.
 
Now if I can just get a really good set of Aureal drivers to work for me to allow for A3d acceleration.

OP
ok, im back.
 
arent u all glad.
 
heres my current setup:
 
AMD K6-2 450Mhz @ 450Mhz
ASUS P5A-B mobo 100Mhz bus (Ali Chipset)
nVIdia riva TNT2 M64
128Mib PC100 RAM
Ensoniq PCI Audio
IBM Maxtor 4Gig HD
Microsoft Sidewinder Game Voice
Intellimouse Explorer
48X CyberDrive CDROM
Motorola SurfBoard 1300
-Software Version: SB3100-3.2.6-SCM-NOSHELL
Hardware Version: 2
MIB Version: II
GUI Version: 1.0
VxWorks Version: 5.3
 
Heres my software setup:
C: partition - "BOOT" - 200Mib - FAT
D: partition - "Win98" - 1600Mib - FAT32
E: partition - "Win2k" - 2200Mib - NTFS
 
c: is obviously the boot partition.
D: has windows 98 SE installed, and is used primarily for games.
E: has windows 2000 professional installed, and is used for web design, etc.
 
Win98 setup:
Gfx drivers - Detonator2 5.32 (6.xx made for GeForce's)
AGP drivers version 1.69
Directx8 ver. 4.08.00.0400
Vsync is always off.
Games resolution - 1024x768x16
 
 
---------
 
now. i realise that win2k is very stable, which i havve always said, and now use it for serious work, web design, word processing etc.
and have left the win98se partition free of most programs, bare minimum, so that the registry etc does not get clogged over time and it grinds to a halt after the 800th program has been installed and uninstalled.
 
my conclusion:
win2k - great for work, looks good, very stable, takes its time though.
win98 - looks average, pretty unstable, fast for gaming on my setup.

David. You forgot compatibility for Win 98.
I'm doing something similar like David so I get the best of both world's, though I'm not sure of faster gaming performance under my OS and system combo. I only installed Win 98 just to be compatible so I can play games. All other stuff including web surfing is done under Win 2000.
 
The only difference between mine and his OS setup is that I'm loading OS's off different drives.
 
HDD0 Windows 2000 Pro /w NTFS. (20 gig)
HDD1 Windows 98 /w FAT 32 (13 gig)
 
HDD0 Boot drive. All programs go here minus games.
HDD1 Games only.
