Nemo Live Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Windows 7 is not any faster then Vista SP1. I can prove that. Save yourself the time. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vask 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. Try some flash videos and tell me you still think windows 7 performs better than vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakeshishere Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Holy Crap! 7 is FAST! Thats what she said :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powser Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 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: Edited April 25, 2009 by Pharos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 well teach me how and I will :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 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..

Cojage Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperOfThePizza Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Get more RAM. Why? 2gb is more than enough. Unless he is doing video editing or things that are very stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I wish I could rate this thread negative. If we have a thread for every possible compliment about Windows 7, Neowin server will overload.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakocino Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 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.

PGHammer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) 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)! Edited April 27, 2009 by PGHammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Not real sure, but I'll know shortly what it runs like on a Q9650! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadja Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 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? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted April 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2009 To be honest, I'm not seeing the speed increase. 7 seems faster at first install, but when I switch back to Vista I think, "Oh, no it's not." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiprophet Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
