Ok I updated my XP HOme RC2 with the 8.05 12.42 nVidia drivers and Q3 gained 9 FPS so I'm upto 64 on my PIII450 with the G2 MX400. Taking vsync off lost 1 FPS though. After up[censored] Q3 from 1.29f to 1.29h I gained 2 FPS so now I'm upto 65 FPS under XP which is just as good as the WinME partition.
 
My MB is an SE440bx-2 Intel board and there is no setting for AGP 2X or 4X! ARRGH! The Appeture was set for 64 already. It seems my MB is the reason for the G2 not performing as good as others post and not XP as I thought.

think of it this way, you're getting the same framerate in XP as ME, plus XP is built on the nt kernel, personally i couldn't ask for more, besides no Activation.

rofl , who said AMD's manufacturing is 1 year behind the intel ???
guyz remember
when intel couldn't put out 1.13GHZ PIII with 0.18 micron
AMD is still running with it n they will go up to 1.7 ghz with 0.18 micron
ALSO remember the long pipeline of P4 , it exists not bc it's the design of future, but it's a design that can give more GHZ numbers to sell cpu right. Don't u remember when a P4 downgraded to 1ghz gives worse results than 1GHZ PIII
THIS IS NOTHING BUT ONLY A PROVE THAT SHOWS AMD HAS BETTER SILICON N MANUFACTURE QUALITY
I don't say 0.18 is better or such
of course 0.13 is a way better
will run cooler
will overclock better
n the day AMD will start with 0.13 process
Intel will blow away again
In my side there is nothing to discuss about cpu performance or quality between intel n AMD,
Only problem for AMD was mobo n such support
having via as only partner for beginning n going that good
is just like a miracle
new mobos, 0.13
n AMD will keep giving best performance for cheaper again

And remember, as of RC2 Windows XP still contains debugging code. By RTM, Windows XP will be considerably faster.
