Tired of the way Win2000 was managing memory, I replaced 
Win2000/SP1 with WinNT/SP6a and got a nice surprise  :-) 
Please note that different NVidia drivers were used. 
 
Two sets of results follow: 
 
  Set 1 -- WinNT  / SP6a / NVidia 647 drivers  
  Set 2 -- Win2000 / SP1 / NVidia 618 drivers 
 
 
 
Set 1 -- WinNT  / SP6a / NVidia 647 drivers
