I'm sick to the back teeth with the instability of my Windows Millenium machine, and also there is a free cut-down version of Maya on several magazines this month that I would love to use but is NT/2k/XP only.
However, along with generic Windows apps that clearly work on both I play a fair number of games (Midtown Madness 2, Shogun:Total War, Counter-Strike, Quake 3 and Grand Prix 3 are the main ones) on the machine. Are there any nasty compatibility problems I need to be aware of? Having Millenium I'm already used to the idea that my old DOS games don't work any more.
I'm also about to put Redhat 7.3 on my other drive; that wouldn't cause any hassle would it? The system is already dual booting ME and Mandrake 8.2, but this latest 'drake is so horrible that I'm replacing it with the Redhat.
