Windows 7 Build 7000 VS Windows XP SP3 Build 2600 Benchmarks

[Veritas_]

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:

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;

Once I saw that you used 3DMark I didn't even bother going to the link. Sorry.
