Windows 2k sucks

[GladiatorMaximus]

I've win 98SE and now also win2k on my computer i thought it was supposed to be better than win98 but here it come i've been running UT in both of them and gess what i had the Det 3 in win 2k but in win 98 some older verion det 2 probably and the average fps at 1024x768x32 was 78(Win98SE)and 68 (win2k) plus it took 40%longer to load. Now that's money well spent!!!

Only thing that sucks here, is to be you

SHUT UP IDIOT

The only thing you will accomplish by being rude to others especially when you are the one asking for help is nothing. Have you tried going to www.ntcompatible.com. they currently have a comprehensive listing of games and what OSes they work in. If there is a workaround they will list it as well.

This board is an excellent resource for solutions to problems concerning computers, as well as other things. Getting on the wrong side of the people that frequent this forum will do you no good in the future when you do need help. If you continue to act in a rude manner not only will this thread be locked, just as your other one, you most likely will be banned from this forum as well. Good luck, and have a nice day.

Eraser.

By the way if you havn't noticed i'm only rude to people that are rude to me. Am i not ? PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!!!!

I guess this thread is going to be LOCKED again,
same with the one you created in General Forums.

Stop repeating same threads in all other forums,
especially when the MOD has locked it up.

 

[GladiatorMaximus]

Who is locking hte threads?

 

[br0wn]

What makes people act like this? Even if someone is rude to you, why lower yourself to their level by doing the same? I take it you're young(12-16) GladiatorMaximus? Be nice, learn, and stick around to enjoy this community.

GladiatorMaximus, you don't even have an idea your thread is locked by the Mods?

CyberSax was just joking, can't you take any jokes? (see the lughing icon?) BTW, for your post, all i can say is i never think win2k was designed for gaming to start with anyway. you wanna play games fast, win98/me should be the choice.

Sure you won't taste the sweetness when you are drinking lemon juice.

rominl, you're a complete idiot I wish you were dead

I'm really joking. But I just wanted to point out that putting a smiley after an insult doesn't makes it less hurtful.

GladiatorMaximus, I agree with people here and in your other thread, that you shouldn't really use Win2K if you're just interested in games, and getting the highest FPS in them.

Although I'm in the same boat, basically, since some of the software I want to run can't be run under Win2K. It's often the fault of the software (such as checking for NT Service Pack 3 on install, which naturally isn't there), but it's still annoying.

I have no idea if the GeForce performance problem is inherent in Win2K, but indeed it performs much much worse in Win2K. I attribute this to AGP problems, but I can't really say.

Win2k (this NT) was designed with business applications in mind... which means stability, reliability, good memory management, etc... The OS was not designed for games... Therefore, games doesn't work as well in win2k doesnt mean the OS "sucks"... It simply was not designed to be used that way...

If you are really concern about games, I would suggest going back to win9x or winME...

Just got done installing Win2k Pro (again, had 2 remove cause I hosed it). I must say it runs everything but Direct 3D beautifully. I'm sure by the time DirectX 8 is final, Win2k performance will be up to par.

 

[ironwoode]

its pretty obvious that win2k is not for gamers. But people like GM just can`t grasp this. I think Genuis is correct about his description of GM. Instead of uninstalling win2k, he whines that because he can`t understand how it works, it is therefore a piece of crap.

After checking br0wn`s link, I now fully understand what GM is all about. The word putz comes to mind. He reminds me of another arguementative, ignorant know-it-all fool, whose only purpose in life is to cause sh!t on this board - the one and only GUTB.

I shall now refer to GladiatorMaximus as Son of GUTB!!!!!

ps. you are now in the running for Turd Of the Year Award.

 

[Wellcky]

I thinks it has something to do with the G-Force vs. Win2k from what I hear they don't quite get along!

 

[Boozy43]

well i'd have to agree with what it is that actually sucks here!

win2kpro rocks buddy.

it may not suit your needs, but you should have came to that conclusion before you installed it.

if you want it for games then its probably not for you.

if your a little kid [which it sounds like you are] then its probably too advanced for you to have any idea as to how to make it run at full torque.

these forums arent made for ppl like you can come here and be a little bitch so unless you have more than your lame ass opinion to say while cutting something down [fact not opinion] then dont post and you will live to see yet another day

 

[Gorgonzola]

eraser, thanks for the link to that NT Compatible site. that'll come in handy.

 

[bonkers325]

hes been liek this all over the boards
thats why he has over 36 posts per day
is he banned yet

 

[peemo]

You bought WIN2K to improve framerates in UT?

Unreal!

 

[Ausm]

Win2k is a great improvement over Win NT 4.0 !! How can you guage software with one bad experience and a general lack of knowledge of the OS you are intending to use?

[Scarpozzi]

Win2k is awesome....I've never seen plug and play work so well. It runs smoothly for the most part, but if you are going ot run it, you should realize that it is similar to NT(thus that stupid "based on NT technology" message). NT?? NO THANKS. I'll take Win2k though because it fixes a lot of the bugs that were still in NT even after you get all the service packs.. To make an obvious statement that's already been said in here....if you are going to be playing games, use an OS made for home use....such as 95, 98, or ME. As for the "rudeness", please try to be nice to each other... I don't want to sound lame or nothin', but The Anandtech moderator just got through making plenty of statements about how rudeness WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the forums. I respect da man! But you shouldn't be nice for the moderator, you should be nice to each other because the forums are here for everyone to enjoy and help each other out.....not make fun of people for saying something you disagree with or even something that is completely wrong. I believe that Win2k is a step up from NT, I mean, at least you can run that game on Win2k....could you on NT??? Probably not.... But that's all I'm going to say for now because I type pretty fast and have a lot of time(not going to bore you peeps anymore)..........

 

[Wellcky]

Hey Boozie43 are you refering to me or GladiatorMaximus?

[EDIT]
GladiatorMaximus - it basicaly was to do with the DirectDraw compatibility. Use WinMe if ya want to game, when it comes out, or get a Voodoo3 mine works great in win2k!

 

[Jugernot]

Hmmm, ever heard of a period or comma?

btw: I personally don't agree with your conclusion that "Windows 2k sucks", but that is your business not mine.
