Jim, >Yes, W2K definitely out-benches Win 98SE due to Win 98SE legacy. Just as NT out benches 98SE.

Thanks.

RE:"1. Why do you suppose they tested on so many different OS's?

Looking at the table, it looks like the results were a collection of results submitted by different people. That explains the different OSs and probably means varying configurations, also. Not a real clear comparison.

Pravin.

You sure about this? I thought that the same memory protections that made NT stable also, other things being equal, also made it slow. I know this is true for 3d games.
