Games performance is better in Windows 2003 than win xp pro. I had a problem
with Direct x when i installed win 2003. I thought DX will not work in win
2003, after adjusting the display hardware acceleration, enabling the AGP
Texture acceleration and direct draw in win 2003 can perform a great speed
for 3D games. and the sound is better than xp in win 2003 std. edition.
Thanks to Microsoft. if you want to know more about game play in win 2003
reply me.
