Are you planning on paying for these upgrades for Tom? Perhaps he is
using a company computer and cannot do any upgrades. Perhaps he
figures that if his computer runs properly with XP SP1 that it should
run properly with XP SP2?
If it's a company computer he shouldn't be doing hardcore gaming on it or
gaming at all. Yes, it should work like sp1 but his main complaint was that
he was having probs with some older and new full bells and whistles games.
If your gonna game all the time, then a computer geared for surfing, email,
and word isn't going to cut it. I always try to tell peolple you have to buy
a computer that will do what you want it to. A $2000 dollar computer will do
just about anything you want it to a $300 dollar one may not. Some where in
between users need to find where they fall in price for the level of
performance they need.
I didn't say it wouldn't work just fine, but in my experience the ati card
made by ati performs better overall. I haven't done any bench tests lately
though(last year or so), so maybe that's changed.
Ya, the op's original post talked about sp2 not working with games and that
ms doesn't care about gamers and xp is not good to game with and that ati
and ms don't work together. All untrue.
