Vista was just panting back there trying to keep up

I once got render performance up by 7% just by killing that famous CPU hog, sidebar.exe :roll: (depends on the system though)

i've recently sped up my athlon 64 system by erasing vista and going back to xp 32bit. Now also half my hardware works properly too :)

32 or 64 bit Linux? I have benched a bunch of the test scenes in XP, Fedora 7 64 bit and Vista. XP was first in speed with Fedora in a close second. Vista was just panting back there trying to keep up. This was with an Athlon X2 3600+ at 2.8 ghz with 2 gig of ram.
Both 32 and 64, in my experience. Versus XP, of course - as you say, Vista doesn't have a chance.

Technically, with the console build, we could try and see how much faster Indigo is in Linux, without gnome/KDE/x, as well - I'll have to try that sometime.

that has something to do with how win xp is a 3gb install with only part of the functionality of a 1gig install of any linux distro. :roll:
Yes i know, my spelling sucks
