Windows XP is much worse at multitasking vs Win 2000. Apparently better legacy support required a lot of states with disabled task switching.

Hehe, I play so many games, life is just another game no? I play a ton of chess and scrabble lately, not very good though - people always getting 400 point bingos on me :*(, when I was at IBM most of the women in the cubicles outside my lab were playing Solitaire and minesweep though - quick trivia - what is the most played game at yahoo games and games.com? Last game I really really had a great time playing - geocities.com I got more enjoyment the first time I played ZORK than I did doom3 - they used to have an ad check this out - the worlds MOST POWERFUL graphics technolgoy: web.mit.edu gameplanet.co.nz WE STICK OUR GRAPHICS WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. You'll never see Infocom's graphics on any computer screen. Because there's never been any computer built by man that could handle the images we produce. And there never will be. We draw our graphics from the limitless imagery of your imagination - a technology so powerful, it makes any picture that's ever come out of a screen look like graffiti by comparison. - Infocom Advertisement, early 1980s. Freedom is not a graphics card. What I really need from the matrix now is a faster way to interface with my fellow borg - typing on a keyboard is really slowing me down. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised, but I just don't see myself buying a lot of the new flashy games - all flash and no substance. Out of this world, that was a good game, full of mystery, you just don't get that with games today. I have to agree with an earlier poster that cheap PC's going to the spear chuckers all over the world is better for DELL than depending on a few high end game enthusiasts buying expensive cutting edge high end systems to get 30 extra frames per second in 1920x1080 mode. What other uses do you see for wide adoptance of multicore besides gaming?
