Is gaming and buring CD's. Now burning CD's is far faster but I don't credit that to vista, I mark that one up to new hardware vs what I had before.
Like I said have my games work and half don't. Now those that do work there is a 20-30% fps hit on vista but that to be expected with vista just coming out.
XP itself ( the OS alone ) didn't run anything faster or more stable that 98/me, infact no version of windows has every run software faster than the version before on it's release.
One thing I really like is how Vista handles ram. XP rarely let go of most the memory it used when it was done with it. After boot up on Vista I use about 500Mb, I can open a ton of stuff a load up my page file and ram then after I close programs down it releases the memory back.
Heres the system I put together this week.
ThermalTake Armor full tower case
Asus P5N32-E Sli Plus motherboard
Intel E6600 CPU with Zalman 9700 cooler on it
2x1Gb G.Skill ram
150Gb WD Raptor HD
320Gb WB sataII 3.0Gbs HD
Samsung DVD/CD Writer SATA
EVGA 8800GTX 768Mb CuperClocked Graphis card.
OCZ Gamestream 700W PSU
I think thats everything
