Should be about the same for whatever Q/Q2/Q3 servers running out there :))))) The XP x64 part, that's gonna have to go on a little hd, maybe 30g, cause it will be just for playing around only. Windows x64 is *not* ready for prime time. But regular Win XP Pro likes the X2 just fine! :) McG. <enjoys being the bastige for a bit ;) >

Like me :-\ Nope, I hadda wait till all the kids were up and out on their own first :) Jobs are nice, good paying ones are nicer! Guess I'm sorta in the middle there on that part. BUT, I finally got me some *thing* that's actually cuttin edge. Yep, I'm a tiny bit pleased with it :) McG.

Nothing wrong with 2 OS on the same computer though.... just make a partition for each one.

It will expire and then I'll have a useless partition. McG.

"D:\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +timedemo 1 +demo four :) I just did a timedemo with 7 other programs running and still got 281.1, not too shabby for my old POS machine.
