Game Forum / Simulators / Car Simulators / November 2003Best OS for GPL, F1C, F12K2 with mods?
I am trying to put together a computer for GPL- and F1-with-mods, on a very limited budget. I've seen great advice on hardware from the group. (Thanks, all!) My problem is deciding whether to go with Win98SE or Win2K. I already have licenses for those two and can't afford XP at this time. Maybe later. I'd guess Win2K would be better. Any thoughts? TIA Proposed system: ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mobo AMD 2400 2X256 PC 2700 DDR RAM Radeon 9600 Depending on what other apps you'll be running in your system, 98 is considered the fastest "gaming" system out there. For stability in other apps besides gaming, then Win2K is the way to go. Some games dont work so well in Win2K because of driver incompatibilities. I have no idea what works for 2000. WinXP runs my GPL and F1-2001 really well. Since 2000 is similar to XP, it may work for you. > I am trying to put together a computer for GPL- and F1-with-mods, on a > very limited budget.

I agree. I used to dual boot Win98SE/Win2k, and found I rarely used Win98. It is /slightly/ faster, and 3dfx cards are much easier to set up, but now I only use Win2k with an nVidia card (gpl running OpenGL). It runs F1 2002 with the GTR mod fine too.

I'll give the Win2K a try. Jim >this may be of interest: >http://www.tomshardware.com/consumer/20020930/index.html [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > |
