I am about to make my computer's big decision for gaming.
I run :
ASRock 939Dual SATA2
X2 3800+
2GiG OCZ DDR400 2,3,2,5
6800 softmod to GT
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
I want to get off of Windows 2000 PRO SP4 because of spotty Dual Core support since this is primarily a gaming rig. Since Win64 is 2003 Server based, has anyone had the DualCore Problems in 64 that they had in XP32. I know the problems have mostly been resolved ... but 2000 Pro still has them occasionally. I am also considering ubuntu 5.10 since I am also a proud Cedega member and the games I play are supported rather well there. I will loose audio hardware accelleration in ubuntu but I won't have the problems with the dual core management of 2000. If Win64 is error free I might just buy it.
