Keep on doing these comparison videos! They are awesome to see how much hardware could change over the span of 3 years.

Thanks. I have more on the way.

Did you see my prior comment about using win 95 on the 97 machine? It should help make it run more like it “should” since it has a fair bit less cpu overhead and those voodoo cards love getting as much cpu as possible

No, I missed that prior comment of yours. But thank you for reiterating it. Some comments online are leading me to think that some mysterious force is stealing my gaming performance on the P200 machine. If "downgrading" to Win 95 makes games perform better, then I would certainly be interested in making another side-by-side video showing that disparity.

It helps a lot. In my previous comment I had real World experience where a Pentium 150 would stutter playing MP3’s for instance in win98 but do it flawlessly in win95 using Winamp.
