OS Question

[mottlee]

Well I can not mess with the XP system (work computer ssshhhhh!) but the main trouble is in Tac combat (I run not AI) ships move slow here but is small bug

[Cirvol]

turn off animate ship combat
turn on fast combat

enjoy

(the speed difference is most likely due to difference in graphics cards and cpu's for work vs home)

Does anything run faster on XP?? I thought it was pretty much normal that any new OS from MS would slow your system down.

Well, my 3D stuff runs faster on XP. I believe W98 had a limit of 256MB ever able to be allocated to one app. That's a restraint in a lot of 3D programs. With XP, my apps will suck up the full GB (or whatever is unused)... .
