Default Re: OT: Notebook OS

So, basically, i have 3 choices to improve gaming in my notebook: 1)Install Win98se and expect a little less stability adn that some newer games will not run correctly; 2)Install Win98SE and change explorer for anothe shell, that will improve stability but keep the problem with newer games; or 3) Keep XP but install XPLite or other tweakers that will make XP consume fewer resources...

I´m tempted to try the third option since it looks like will be the less drastic one, as about the graphics card, my initial doubt started with the game Evil Genius that specified in its readme that for the rame to run in XP it would need 256mb ram/32mb video, and in for 98 it would need 128mb Ram/16mb video, so, if i want it to run in my notebbok i would need to change the OS to 98...

I´ll try first XPLite, then, if i still don´t feel satisfied i will instal win98se and change the shell...

thanks people for all the answers
