Running a dual boot for WIN2k and WIN ME? I have win2k now, wondering if some games will run better /quicker/smoother in win me over win2k. Just curious if I should get a dual boot going, or if that is just a waste of space.

As the last post said.

Don't bother dual booting your system unless you have some older games you just can't loose.

Any game/application released from now on should be Windows2000 compatible.

I've had to loose Carmageddon2, but with Carmageddon TDR2000 now less than a week away I'm happy to loose this.

Performance in games is very similar between Win9x & Win2000, some games seem to prefere Windows 2000 (Ultima On-Line for example plays so much better in Win2k than Win98)

I created a dual-boot on my system to play games in Win98SE, but I never use it. SP1 even fixed the mouse problem in AvP so I use W2K for everything now.
