i got 2 d2 games. on my laptop whit vista i lagg 24/7 and when i playing on my normal comp whit xp its 4x faster.

because my laptop is way faster then my xp desknop. desknop is from 2001 and vista is from 2008.
and its hardware is way better.

Hi Uf-alpha,

Vista is limited to Direct3D only so if you're using DirectDraw or Glide on your old XP system, that will be better. If they're both using Direct3D, the one with the better hardware wins. Keep in mind that a lot of integrated hardware is slower than dedicated hardware years ago so please check to see what you have.
