I've always heard that AMD, AGP, and Windows 2000 equal disaster. I think there's a patch out there or two in the latest SPs. 98SE is good if you like old old games, but other than that its crap. If you have to have 9X use a dualboot.

I reccomend 2k. Do a dual boot if you like to play older dos based games.

With that kind of stuff you can probably rummage around your local Computer Renassiance (used) store, and find a cheap 300-400mhz box. Generally that's a bit high for games like Duke I & Duke II, but it can be underclocked and will do well on those hardcore Duke 3D TCs with GLDuke. Be sure to sneak in a nice Voodoo too!

Ever since I got XP Pro I will never go back to Win 9X ever. It is just amazing the differences bewteen the Win 9X and NT kernel. My uptime is over a day :D.
