my gaming so far

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005; install went fine, i had to reboot to play the game, i didn't have a splash screen, but i did have sound. After reboot it was ok. Shadow of Tiger looks kinda funny though, on the ground it looks like an outline made with coal crayon. Time played 15 minutes, just pactice, no crash.
GTA San Andreas; install went fine, i had to reboot to play, no splash screen here either, this one is a bit laggy, feels like my video card's not big enough, but it does a pretty good job on WinXP. Time played 2 hours with multiple reloads of parts of the game. It froze once.
Unreal; yeah baby a 1998 game, install went flawless, patched the game(the famous 226f) runs good after the manditory tweeking for this game i.e. Direct 3d render. Time played 15 minutes. No crash.
I must say that i put the compatibility mode on WinXP sp2 for Tiger and San Andreas, wanted to be sure, but forgot to put it for Unreal -- Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 P4 3 g Hyper Threading NVidia GForce NX6800XT 256mb(Beta2 ver88.61) On board sound(SoundMax Integrated) and ethernet(MArvell Yukon) Hard-drive Maxtor 80gig Ultra ATA 133
