- NT has much better support for fast realtime usage than Win95 ever

- My suggestion is that You wait until NT 4.0 is released. It will be fully
- game compatible with Win95. It will have DirectX, DirectSound and also
- fully joystick support (including the latest digital ones).
-
- Prepare for some serious gaming on PPRo with NT! ;)
-
- But even at that time I think most games will be DOS, so this could still
- be a good option to have if your an avid gamer.
