From my experience with Win2k3, it is not much of a home gaming and generally purpose Operating System. Although one can tweak it alot to do these functions, I would highly reccomend avoiding the hassle and sticking with Xp Pro with SP1. It works straight out of the box with little to no tweaking nessary. Dont get me wrong Win2k3 is a nice OS, just not for the things you are going to be using it for. |Drew|
