Fractint worked on my Alienware with WinXP Media from day one, and rather well at that.
This always intrigued me since DOS and NTFS don't see each other. I still have no explanation but what the hey - it's cool!


As for USB, the only thing reliable about it (at least in my experience) is that on all my systems with multiple USB ports, most of them stop working after a few months and I don't know why. I have to install PCI cards with USB jacks to get USB functionality. No big deal, but I shouldn't have to do that!
