XP64 v Vista 64

Gigacloud · Jul 24, 2007

I seem to be recieving alot of warnings from people informing me that vista 64 is a resource hog and that their systems are running slower under vista.

What are peoples experiences with vista??

well i used XP64 for around a year and a half and i loved it. i have now been using vista x64 ultimate (cheers for having friends at MS) for 2 months and its one great OS. everything runs just fine and as long as you have a pretty good system im sure it will be the same for you.

one thing is vista boots faster for me then xp did even with my 5 harddrives and 2 dvd drives

I have run both and Vista 64 is the better choice. Plus it will be getting more and more support over the years while XP64 is going to be losing what little support it did have.
