You are really lucky. Rock on, my brother! :rockin:
Both in benchmarks and real-world apps it was substantially slower. As I said, it mostly has to do with the way Vista handles mainboard and processor-level functions - everything has additional buffering and encryption/decryption.
The only way to speed it up is brute force - faster cpu, more ram, dual or quad pumping, etc...
What mainboard and processor level functions are you talking about? Vista kernel functions are not that different from XP's. Can you give me an example of what you're talking about?
