So, what does winXP have that Win2K doesn't?

Off of the top of my head:
- Loads significantly faster.
- Integrated Firewall (with SP2).
- Improved ACPI (power management).
- Increased driver support.

Of course it takes up more RAM, but look at the pretty colours!

You are probably right Silverberg. My old card was IGP and not compatible with Pirates! when I beta tested it, so I went out on a search for a T&L card and finally settled on the Radeon 9600 card. By the way, the 9600 is a rather cool graphics card with the options available to it...I was impressed.

I used a 9600 for almost a year, and upgraded. Another good choice is a 9550. Even though it is an earlier model it is actually a better (Read: Faster) card and may be even cheaper if you can find it on eBay or the like.
