I'm running the 5384 Beta 2 on that machine:

XP 2600+ running at 2200 MGHZ
1,25 GB DDR 400 Ram's 2-3-3-6 1T
GeForce 5900 with 128 MB's

RAID 0 with 2 Seagate's on a Silicon Image 3112 Softcontroller (onboard)...

It runs very poor... It saves something on the discs the whole time, and
that makes it very slow i guess....
 
- Copypaste message to all who wonder why vista is slow -

Greetings. I know this might sound stupid but its true "ITS BETA" =)

So its slow due:
A) lots of debugging is running at background ALL THE TIME
B) drivers are not yet ready nor finished and optimized for vista
C) at this stage of BETA, code optimization is not done. Before RTM they
will start optimizing code to increase performance.

Depending your hardware setup, you can have 1-100x performance differences
just due drivers.

ITS BETA, it means its at testing stage to find bugs. Performance testing
doesnt require open beta which you are in. Your and mine task is to find and
report bugs.
 
Hi

I've allso had trouble with Vista running EXTREMLY slow. I turned out to be
Harddisk related, a reating showed that I had a tranferrate at 7-10MB/sec.
I was using RAID0+1 on a Intel 915O Chipsset.

So I put the controler ind IDE mode, and it solved the problem... ;)
 
You're flogging a dead horse.... for many, Vista Beta gone "public" means
it's ready for prime time mostly and all my stuff will work and programs and
golly it'll be the best thing since "sliced bread".
 
I had poor performance at first.
Things to look at
1. The Computer Associates anti-virus is bad. The Trend Micro isn't great.
It slows it down.
2. If you have more than one drive put a page file on both hard drives.
Should equal 1 and 1/2 times your ram.
3. look for drivers and programs that are not compatible.
4. Turn off visual effects you don't need. Smooth scrolling of menus ETC.

I did these things and it runs almost as fast as XP.
