OS Comparison - On Which Operating System Do Games Run Best? | |
|

There's no question about it - modern operating systems, such as Windows 2000 and the latest Windows XP, provide the user with a much more stable work environment than the fully outdated software architecture of Windows 98 or ME. Among PC gamers, performance differences between these operating systems are still a point of intense discussion. Which one is faster? In addition, there are still many games coming out on the market that don't run properly on Windows XP. A good example of this is the U-Boot game "Silent Hunter II," which managed to crash the entire PC within a few minutes. At the time, the developer simply shrugged its shoulder at its own Internet support forums and merely pointed out the fact that ultimately, Windows XP is not an OS for games. But apart from games (and a few special applications as well), which other applications really need the fastest and newest hardware? Certainly not Word, Excel & Co. | ||
