I play most of my games on win2k, I only need win98 when I need to run Chinese software that don't like win2k. However, I too noticed few problems with game play on win2k, but all seem like game design problem. MS shouldn't take the fault. I think you are right about Diamond card, they never have good driver, always use reference driver is the only solution, if reference driver doesn't work, you are out of luck. I had very different experience when speak Diamond TNT card, some of them work with reference driver, some don't, even same mode doesn't mean always work, I have few v770 that work alright (latest reference driver), but some v770 don't. I guess it's all depending on luck.
