Therre is a big difference between Office benchmarks and DSP benchmarks My Vista setup (Originally XP) with dual core, 2 GB dual channel memory with SATA drives outbenchmarked XP in processor power, memory speed and disk transfers, it natively handles dual core processors and dual channel memory instead of just being hacked and patched for it like XP ... the difference in processing HDTV streams (Which is a REAL processor intensive DSP app, I call it SDTV because it's mostly in software like SDR)) it quite noticable ... The ONLY problem I've had is not being about to get decent soundcard drivers
The Bottom Line is in a couple of year the vast majority of computers will be running it, it's flaws are no worse (or better) than XP when it first came out, it just uses a different model driver than XP, just like XP used a different driver model than Win98 Everyone seems to forget what a pain XP was for sound apps and hardware conpatibility when it first came out I wouldn't recommend it on an old machine, like all new operating systems you need the extra power and memory but I haven't had any more problems with it than I did with XP when it first came out, in fact I'd say less problems if you exclude the soundcard drivers --- In [email protected], "i2phd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been asked by many why I am not intending not even to test my > software under Vista, let alone porting it to the new opsys. > > Here is another reason, as if the previous were not enough : > > http://tinyurl.com/2bqkkm > > 73 Alberto I2PHD >
