phaTrx7 Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Dunno why most of you download'd WS2003 .. doubt it was because you need'd a server OS .. probably the same reason I did, it was a free 6 month trial and you were curious of how the OS look'd and operated.I mainly build my systems for 3D Gaming .. and like to try out new OS's to see how they hold up for 3D gaming...I tweak'd WS2003 for over 2 hours til I finally got it how I want'd it (basically a workstation now). When properly convert'd over to a WorkStation OS it surprisingly plays 3D games very fast and smooth! Only hangup I have with it is support for optical mice that require there own software to take advantage of extra buttons and features .. WS2003 currently is compatible with the drivers/software. Atleast not with MS IntelliMice .. dunno bout other brands like Logitech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 if you read the guide available it should have only taken about 30 mins tops to reconfigure the OS to act as a workstation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkkavenger Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hey remember this is not a final version and also, with all the tweaking done to turn it into a workstation-like OS, it's still a server operating system, and i would not use it to run or test 3D games. Drivers can also interfere with this, as they are not *specifically* designed for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-mart Shopper Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 How much do you truly think they changed in this *Server* OS? It ran all my games fine, and I got the same speeds as I do in Win2K.. just because its intended to be a server OS doesn't mean it can't be a good workstation, it just simply runs servers better than any previous OS :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
