Sorry for my bad English, but I wanted to say that Windows XP (built on NT tecnology) consumes more resources then the Windows of 9x family. Is it clear that way?

in my experiance, drivers can give 20 / 30 extra frames per second under certain circumstances
mostly under synthetic tests? May be... But not in Quake3, Aquanox, UT, Giants, NFS5 or such games. I know, some drivers give great boost in sertain tests in 3DMark2001. So what? Who plays 3DMark2001???
And you want to tell me that Windows XP consomes less or the same quantity of resourses as Windows 98SE does? Don't make me lough... You can feel the difference between them on PIII-800 (like in the case of this topic)
P.S. By the way, do you realy think that the new version of drivers could help iks to obtain more FPS? He's got an TNT2! But for your card the drivers just starting to be optimized. So don't compare you situation with situation of iks. Besides, your processor is a little bit more powerful then his
