Minifig Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I just got my new PC. I'm going up from a 1.8 dual core 2 gig of ram with a 9600 GT to a 3.0 QuadCore with 2 8800 GT and 2 gig ram. Vista is GONE in my mind. I can't even go back to it and I've only been using 7 for about 10 minutes. Wow. Also, does anyone know how to make the icons smaller on the desktop? :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted April 25, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted April 25, 2009 So... Windows 7 on your new PC is faster than Vista on your old PC? Who would have thunk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It is Windows 7 though. I'm on a 3.0 Quad / 4 Gigs of ram and the difference between Vista and 7 is quite noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Windows 7 is faster than Vista in most aspects so the OP would of discovered it eventually ;) Though he did discover it by an interesting method. :p Andrew-DB, glad you are liking it, welcome to the best ever Windows.

psionicinversion Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 ok fair enough but it was a stupid thing to say as seeing as its gpu driven youve 2 in sli and a much more powerful cpu plus a fresh install to boot it will be lightning fast. Evemn though i think 7 runs alot quicker than vista anyway but still a bit stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted April 25, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 25, 2009 New system aside, after fresh installing an OS it is always going to feel fast. Vista was probably just as fast when you first installed it, but after use it starts getting bloated and running more sluggishly :( I have had build 7000 installed since it was released, and am waiting for 7100 to appear on connect before re-installing again (I cannot be bothered downloading leaked versions etc) but i have noticed that even my zippuy clean install of 7000 has become a little slower even after this short period of time. That said I am definitely upgrading to x64 when it is finally released, as most things now run fine on it, even creative drivers :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted April 25, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2009 7100 is a bit of a dissapointment for me. 7077 x86 with 3GB RAM and single processor took 30 seconds from on to get on the internet. Shutdown was 5 seconds. This time round, 7100 x64 startup is 50-60 seconds and 12 seconds to shut down on a dual core and 4GB RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08993 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Punkbuster and NWN2 support is holding me back from 7 - with both companies being adamant thay won't support beta OS's which is fair enough I guess but still annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 For some reason it keeps stalling. All the programs go not responding. Then I have to wait a few minutes and suddenly every is running normally. Then it will stall up again. This is on a 3.2 Ghz Pentium D with 3GB of RAM. It's not the best PC but I run Vista on it normally with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if it may have something to do with the x64 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Live Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 7100 is a bit of a dissapointment for me. 7077 x86 with 3GB RAM and single processor took 30 seconds from on to get on the internet.

I did an upgrade and it hasn't missed a beat which is suprirsing as well. Do keep in mind that with clean installs it takes couple of boot cycles to re-create your fetch data for your programs and the like before settling down.
