I think, in my opinion, you probably won't see a
lot of difference between how EQ runs in ME or XP. The operating system
itself doesn't really effect gameplay. EverQuest is more based on the
quality of your hardware; graphics, CPU, memory, etc. Where the OS does
come into play is memory management. XP is moderately better at handling
memory resources than XP is. In ME over a period of time, without the
system being restarted, game play tends to get sluggish and lag a lot. You
might not go linkdead, but it's very hard to play until you restart yoru
computer and the memory resources are fresh. Now this can also happen with
XP, but it takes considerably longer to get to that point. If you're happy
with ME and the game runs fine, don't bother with XP.

Subject: [EverQuest] unusual question
I have
an unusual quest for you al. I am thinking of switching my OS back to
windows XP. I currently have win ME on my system. The question is will Win
XP make Everquest run better? I had XP on my system but I have done some
upgrading since then and my system crashed twice when I was using XP and it
crashed in a bad way I could start windows at one point. Well let me know
any recommendations please. Thank you for your help and
time.
