Warez Monster said:C|Net labs has put Microsoft Vista to the test, head to head versus a WinXP install and the results are dead even.
We loaded Windows Vista beta 2 (build 5384) and Windows XP Professional SP2 on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4, with 1GB of DDR2 memory running at 664MHz and an ATI Radeon X850 XT graphics card. We ran a few of CNET Labs' home-brewed tests on the two operating systems to see if we could discern any significant performance differences between XP and Vista.
Oddly enough, I am running Vista on a box with the exact same specs and I have to admit that Vista runs as quick as XP. Then there is the WAY Vista runs, I really?really?like it. If you have the system specs for it, you should download the beta and give it a whirl.

vista takes too long to boot up. it takes too long to do simple tasks. it kinda as fast on long term chores, but not on most short quick ones
the 64 bit was a little faster, but most stuff don't work on it
