sick from a lack of memory – should I go W2K? [highpoint controller] [netgear fa310tx]

Q: Ok . I am tired of my memory leaks from all over the floor . I typically use this box for gaming and Web Developement light work. Ive upgraded to win2k cd .
will how this effect my gaming? and what is the probability of major problems with the following setup.

Abit KT7A-Raid
Geforce 256 SDR
SB Live!
10/100 NIC
20.5gig 7200 WD ATA66 hard disk (at peak controller)
256meg Mushkin Rev2 Cas2 Memory (I love the expensive steps in memory that forms on the floor by my desk)

I hoped my new system would help to memory leak problem to combat, but apparently not .

Thanks,

Re:well im big into games.. but I would give up a small amount of performance so that I could get up and set down at the computer and open IE without getting "not enough memory to run this application, shut down some programs and try again" :disgust:

Re:I am using win2k on 3 boxes (1 adv. server). I have ran most games fine on all these machines : c&c – tiberian sun, CS, project IGI, vietnam, sims, rogue spear, etc. I would upgrade to win2k because it never locks up (once you solve vid card issues like I had to do). It is a secure os that has security also supporting directx 8+ You can get good frame rates with the right tweaks. I have had about 3 GPFs running win2k. I have never had a program totally lock up win2k. Also more and more hardware manufacturers are coming out with win2k drivers. I also like being able to have more control over devices and their drivers as opposed to NT 4. I would recommend win2k personally, but thats just me…

Re:well I tried an upgrade a few minutes ago.. and it couldn't find the drivers for the .. even though I supplied the floppy and CDrom that came with my abit board. Why exactly should I not do an upgrade? I cancelled out to do a bit more research on the situation.

Re:I can't say that all games work fine in Win2K but so far it is the case for me, but I usually only play CS and a little UT and Q3. Nascar and Mid Town I have tested also.

Go to Win2K though. Your system is crying for it. But do not upgrade. Install fresh using the upgrade disk. If you have questions about this ask.
