Yes, 2k isn't nearly as bad as ME, being based on NT. It's just a pretty bad incarnation of NT. XP is nice, but all those graphical extras are only there to suck up resources. I'm fairly certain that when a game is playing, XP politely stops all those extra graphical whatnots to allow for maximum goodness, but the part that's not certain happens to be the part that remembers that MS made ME. Anyway, I dunno, I might just turn on the graphical effects if I find out for certain it's not dragging down my system, even in the slightest, when I'm playing a full screen game.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
