perf. on XP vs. 98 - comments?
   

I have Morrowind installed on Windows XP, AMD XP 1700+, 256 MB DDR RAM, GeForce 3. At 1024X768 with 2x AA, I notice smooth graphics away from cities, but really slow performance in cities (10-20 fps with noticable jerkiness). I've tried higher resolutions without AA, but the results are about the same.

I'm considering reformating my harddrive with a dual boot of 98SE and XP. I would then install Morrowind on 98SE hoping for better performance. Before I go to all of this trouble, I wanted to see if anyone else has tried this? Or can you comment on performance with 98? XP? comparing both? Thanks.

P.S> I've already tried the new 'no safedisk wrapper' .exe, defraging the HD, and adjusting all of the insternal settings. The view distance as the biggest impact and I can get smoother frames with the view distance at half, still not to the point where I'm happy with performance.

My experience with this topic
   

Hi.
This is my personal experience using win 98(1st edition though) vs. xp.
Win98. Crash every time i try to leave hull.
Win xp. I can leave boat and play crash free.
I know it wasn't 98 crashing morrowind persay,but I thought I'd tell ye of my experience.
I didn't notice an improved framerate in the hull with 98 using newest nvidia drivers vs. xp using old drivers my system chose.
Regds. V.
