Holy Crap! 7 is FAST!


Recommended Posts

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.

Try some flash videos and tell me you still think windows 7 performs better than vista.

I don't get it. Every body says Windows 7 is faster than vista. I dual boot both and I don't find my Vista (SP2) any slower than 7. Of coz, I maintain my Vista pretty well. (sandboxie and portable applications).

Not to mention, Win7 hates (many) portable applications.

I can tell you its faster for me for sure. I have installed Vista clean just a few days ago, then 2 days later installed 7 clean, then reformated this morning and installed 7100.. I can tell you hands down that it is faster than Vista for me.

On a side note, why don't you overclock your E6750? I have the same processor overclocked at 3.5Ghz with little effort and almost no voltage increase for more than a year and it's been rock solid, it's roughly a 40% increase in performance. (6.7 CPU score rating in Windows 7) :cool:

well teach me how and I will :)

Same here, also running the E6750 and I have no idea of how to start :p Tried myself in the BIOS but PC wasn't in the mood for booting anymore after that..

I just tried Win 7 too for the first time... WOW! Very fast indeed, then again it might be because of the fresh install, but it even seems responding faster than my XP, but my xp partition has a lot of software, and the 7 partition is clean besides the OS.

But i am very impressed, i don't think i'm going to use XP anymore, lol.

Get more RAM.

So anyone have some benchmarks?

Start up times and shutdown times are definitely faster for me, other than that I wouldn't say there's much of an improvement over vista(both clean installs).. But that's just my impression.

I wish I could rate this thread negative. If we have a thread for every possible compliment about Windows 7, Neowin server will overload....

you dont have to click it

Get more RAM.

I have a mere gigabyte of RAM (yes; you read that right), and my overclocked E1200 (Celeron DC) has Windows 7 chewing up apps like piranha at Arby's (7100 x64). Now I wonder what a properly-overclocked Q9400 would do (especially with 4 GB of RAM)!

real speed test:

Vista = spinning circle prominent at every application launch or menu navigating ( also prominent - yawning and finger tapping)

Windows 7 = where is the spinning circle? :)

So... Windows 7 on your new PC is faster than Vista on your old PC?

Who would have thunk it.

Who would have thought

:whistle:
