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)... .

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