win03 is a noticably faster OS than XP. some of it's a little challenging to get certain things to run, but it was the same way when win2000 first came out and everyone had to hack the hell out of games to get them to run on that also.

and with a 3ghz amd and a radeon 9800, i'm hoping not to notice a few fps here and there if i can get the speed on everything else.

i'm still trying to get all the other apps running first before i go to litestep, so i havent tried it yet. soon enough...
