Win2k as a gaiming platform

[stodge]

In a straight nutshell, no-nonsense question, is Win2k a worthy replacement for Win98 as a gaming system on the following machine?

Celeron 400
128Mb
BH6
SB Live
ATI Fury Pro
17" Mitsubishi
Voodoo 2
8.4Gb + 3.2Gb Quantum
40x Pioneer CDRom

And does Win2k work well with DirectX 7, and if so what percentage of your games that ran on Win98, still run on Win2k?

Thanks

halflife, homeworld, starcraft and baldur's gate all work as well. System shock 2 is the only game that doesnt work so far for me.
