I want to set up a seperate partition for gaming. Or will I have to use Windows 2000 on the second partition? Will 2000 work as well as XP for games? Thanks
Im thinking ahead to Doom 3 and Halflife 2. With all the extra crap turned off I get an extra 1000 pts in 3dMark 03. But its a pain to turn off all that stuff every time I want to game.
Just create another user account where all the bloat services & applications aren't launched by default.
& don't do a user-switch, logout with the first user & logon with the new one. when you do a quick user switch, the previous user will still have some information remain in memory.
