Hey peeps,
I haven't kept up to date with the software scene lately, and I have a few questions about my upcoming system. I just ordered all my hardware, now I'm trying to figure out what to do about my software.
1. Is Win XP better than Win 2K???
2. With Win XP, will I be able to play games that came out 2-3 years ago? I want to play all the rainbow 6 stuf, quake 3, counterstrike, mirosoft flight simulator... and other games of that caliber.
3. Will I be able to play these games under win 2k???
4. I'm thinking of doing a dual boot, with win 2k and mandrake linux,... is this easy to do? I know I can order the cd's online for a very cheap price, but do they come with an installation manual??? Is it worth paying $70 for the 7-cd mandrake linux set???
5. What are some good things about mandrake linux?.. besides the fact that it's NOT microsoft.
6. Lastly, I looked at the screenshots of Mandrake 8.0, and I saw microsoft applications such as Word, and media player, etc etc runing on it. Do these apps come with Mandrake 8.0 ???? If not, how do I get them???
Thanks guys!
