Tama si Master Dean! Bakit XP pa kung pwede naman sa Win9x? Para mas stable? Nah....

i have a tip too... dual boot XP and 98SE ;) best of both worlds...

Poor XP...
I don't play games much but the games I have work flawlessly in XP.
Including NFS: Porsche Unleashed (I have it running in compatibility mode Win9x).
The rest are all new first person shooters -no problems.

panong stable ang win98se?

I'm using win2000 and I encountered errors when I tried to install Max Payne and Renegade. I just updated the drivers (DirectX, display, sound). Most of the time, you just need to update ur drivers for the games to work on xp/2000.

Hahaha, I use to remember that DOS was touted as the OS of PC games and Windows 95 did not cut it at all as a gaming platform. Now, the newer of version of Windows 95 is purported to be the best gaming OS. How ironic indeed!

Conclusion: It looks as if we'll have to give the SPeeD crown to Windows 98SE. While XP is Microsoft's greatest effort in the OS arena to date, 98 comes out on top for raw performance. XP will give you bells and whistles, a smooth interface, and s
