Veritas_ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Since Microsoft released the Windows 7 Beta for download to General Public, I decided to preform an actual install, as opposed to a Virtual Machine install that I've been doing. Now i know that people have benchmarked XP versus Vista versus Win7 before, but *I* haven't done it :p I'll be benchmarking the following items: Futuremark 3DMark06 Futuremark 3DMark Vantage WinRAR v3.80 700mb compression/extraction times SpeedTest of Network We'll see if i can come up with anything else in the meantime. For now here's some screenshots and the system specs: Motherboard: ASUS M2A-VM CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Overclocked to 3.02GHz GPU: ASUS EAH Radeon HD 4670 512mb GDDR3 Overclocked Storage: 320GB SATA Memory: 2GB [2x1024MB] Kingston DDR2 800MHz For results and screenshots see: http://nigelt.blog.com/4471716/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Win7 Beta EULA doesn't allow you to make benchmarks! You may not? disclose the results of any benchmark tests of the software to any third party without Microsoft?s prior written approval; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
