PumpkinPC v1.0 Makes Its Hallowe'en Debut 174
vivIsel writes "I just recently created the PumpkinPC v1.0 for the Hack-O-Lantern contest at Bjorn3D. I thought the Slashdot community would get a kick out of this--it being Halloween, and all. I just hope it doesn't rot too soon." Hopefully, the pumpkin has survived the trick-or-treaters.

XP is, in all essence, Windows 2000 version 2, and is largely parallel with 2000 for gaming. 2000 wasn't a good choice for gaming in the early days because the drivers just weren't there for multimedia hardware: Soundblaster, Geforce, etc-- all of them had hackneyed, poor performance and poor compatibility drivers. As Microsoft made it clear that it was the future direction they got their ass in gear and made drivers that often exceed the speed of the 95/98/ME machines. As it stands if I were given a choice between 2000 and 98, I'd take 2000 hands down.
