Is there any difference in performance?

Hi

I was wondering if there is any difference in resources, performance and so on, depending on what you log on win2kpro as?

If I log in with my administrator, and play games like quake2 and so on, is there any difference if I use another form of user, such as poweruser och normal user?

Is there any such difference?

No, there shouldn't be a difference as far as clean installs go. However, when you install more things under the context of a given user, there will be a slight loss of system resources (instant messengers, sound card software, DVD software, download managers, etc.) So, if you login under a new user after 6 months of usage, it will "feel" snappier, and a good deal quicker due to the increase of available resources.

No. All the hardware work at the same level; however, IF settings are different between users (example: administrator has FULL hardware acceleration, while guest has 3 notches down) then yes, performance will be different. It's all about the settings.

its best to have a gaming user set up as a poweruser to just play games on.
