Don't bet the farm on it! You would do much better to:

a) Ditch Windows, install your fav Linux distro (mine is PCLinuxOS) and
buy a good game console (or two) for your gaming fix, or

b) If you must have PC games, reformat your hd and install your fav
Linux distro, download VMware Player, create and download a vm of Win2k
buy going to easyvmx.com (free!) and install your w2k and your games in
it. You will also of course want the VMware Tools, check out this site
