Thought I should repost here as my main theme is gaming....

Interesting Video and other results in comparison with my XP machine at
PCPitstop.com

The XP....... MSI Nvidia 5900 128MB video card scored

328 million pixels per second

The Vista MSI Ati X1600 TD256E
scored

66.7 million

Lot`s of difference there.

Hard drive results were disappointing too. The Vista machine only scored 77%
of similar drives. I have thought it sluggish since I formatted with Vista
(far too quick imho). I used Max Tools to test the drive it is perfect, has
to be the format or the OS imho. Every other I`ve spoken to testing Beta atm
say`s the same best results are when the drive is formatted using another OS
not the apparently quick format Vista uses.
 
Sorry didn`t post machine specs to differentiate.

Vista

AMD 64 Sempron 3100+
1GB Ram
MSI-7228 mobo
Ati MSI X1600 TD256E
120GB Maxtor hard drive

XP

Intel P4 Northwood 3 GHz
MSI 875 Neo P mobo
512 MB Ram
Nvidia MSI 5900 TDE 128MB Graphic card
Sata II hard drive 160GB ( The board is only sata I but it has a vast
effect on everything seeing a score of over 130% on PC Pitstop)

Games on the Vista....

Half Life 2
Counterstrike
FEAR

All graphics appear clean but games can be stuttery as it calls to the drive.
