I have no problems benchmarking before & afters when I get myself take care of. Just need to get some DVD's and clear off my harddrives. I will try to test the "low cal" also, providing I find it.

I've been considering working on my own stripped down XP for gaming. It wasn't anything I ever planned on sharing really, was just planning on doing it for myself. Most people don't just have a "gaming" computer, they use their computer for everything, so I didn't figure a demand for something like that would be that great. Otherwise I would hear nonstop complaints about services and programs not there/working.

I wonder how much better games would run if they actually ran on an OS made just for gaming. I just wonder how much bloat windows OS adds on top. (just wondering, not asking, rhetorical ya, that the word!)

2Moons doesn't work even in winxp compatibility mode. Bummer.

BF2 nags me that it has only been tested on 32-bit XP, but it installs and runs fine.

I'll have a few hours of free time later today for some serious benchies, so we'll see how things turn out.

BTW, this thread has been stuck.
