[edited, just leaving this so replies make sense re drivers]

windows 2000 periodically crashes with nv4_disp bsod, seems to be driver issue but using 94.24, maybe it needs xp?

Great! You are really game maniac 😀 But I think your the most powerful PC is Athlon 3000+ and 6800GT - it's not so cool, what about upgrade video and CPU? (or at least not extreme overclocking? )

Try these drivers on your win2k box, they work very well for me with no lockups and AGP cards (unlike the official release).

I like your Win95 pc 😀

Yes I'm pretty happy with that. I have an MT32 that I was going to use with it but I don't have many games that need it, plus I'm not sure how to use it yet.

The Win7 machine would run better with more RAM.

I may have a go at that when I can afford it, dual channel 2x2gb I expect, though as it's Win 7 64-bit I suppose I could go higher. Will that have more impact than moving to a faster chip, say E7500 [which is about the fastest affordable chip that the motherboard will take according to asrock specs]?

In the main post you've written that your Windows 7 machine has a Gigabyte mobo, but on the other post it says Asrock. Wich one is right?
