Default Re: OT: Notebook OS

Just so you know the results of my notebook problem, i installed both Win98se and Winxp in my notebbok, and iīm using Win98 for games...

While i still donīt get playable speed with games like Evil Genius (probably because the video cad) i can play a lot of games i like with very good speeds in the notebook (Dungeon Keeper, SEIV, Xcom3)...

And, best of all, a lot of games that donīt work under XP are now available for me to play under Win98 (Xcom3 just to point an example)

About WinXP i found a very helpful site that was pointed in another thread in this board abou windows optimization that helped me to speed up my XP (mainly turning off some bells-and-wistles that are not really useful in XP except for cosmetic reasons), but iīll keep Win98 so i can play games that donīt work under XP.

In resume iīm now with a notebook that is dual-booting with Win98 and WinXP and i divided my 30GB hd in 3 partitions: a Fat32 2gb partition for Win98, a NTFS 3gb partition for WinXP and a 25GB FAT32 partition where i put all my games/videos/etc to be acessed by both OS.

Thanks for all your help people!
