Well, if I am not mistaken, Windows 2000 has never had a very broad user base and it does not strike me that it can be compared to that of XP. After all, 2000 was never consumer-oriented the way XP is. By the far-off time the XP user base dwindles to what Windows 2000's user base is now, the …

Well, you know one day XP will no longer be supported followed by Vista then 7 so what happens to all those gamers who paid for games that they can no longer play because the last version of the client they can run no longer connects to the server because it's not the latest version? Once you buy a …

As Microsoft has dropped support for it, Windows 2000 probably has some deficiencies in security at this point that Windows XP does not. And security might well become a concern to Valve if these "emulators and cracks" get out of hand. Hypothetically, Valve might one day not want to have an older …

Underclocking it is probably not the best idea in light of the fact that he can return it and get a working one. I'd send it back for a refund.
Re: Any good Virtual8086-based DOS emulators for Windows 7?

Again, 3D Game or not, there's no emulator capable of outperforming DosBox. This is what i find perplexing. How its possible for a full emulator (DOSBox) to beat a virtualizer (VirtualBox) in terms of performance? Books say that virtualizers (VirtualBox) beat full emulators (DOSBox) in terms of …

It's more about the tools they use to compile modern programs and the fact of MS no longer support those OS anymore. Visual Studio 2010 for instance isn't compatible with Windows 2000. If you want to support 2000 with it it you have to do more work to support it....and since MS doesn't support …

Are there any third party Steam clients out there? And seriously, what does Steam do under Windows XP that can't be done with 2K? How hard is it to make a client without a lot of bells and whistles that suck up system resources that just allows you to browse the games library, download the ones you …

Because 2K will run everything XP runs but with a smaller footprint. Ugh, we went through this before. There are definitely some things that will run under XP but not 2K, including the most recent versions of the Steam client – which means there might be some trouble getting Half-Life 2 running …

I'm curious as to why you would want to use windows 2k for classic gaming anyway. Not really the ideal OS for that. Because 2K will run everything XP runs but with a smaller footprint. 2K will also run on some systems that XP won't. My dual PPro 200 has 2K on it because the XP installer won't work. …

I ordered a bunch of 2032 coin cell batteries for other projects. I hope that's the same type this machine uses. I'll have to wait a few days for them to arrive then try again.
