64 Bit
32 bit tests seem to be somewhat limiting given the advancement in 64 bit tech these days. Any plans for similar comparisons in 64 bit? Better yet, take a more real-world example. Since the majority of XP desktops are running 32 bit, and (hopefully) the majority of Win7 desktops will be 64 bit, how big is the performance delta there? I think it is relevant as a move from 32 bit XP to 64 bit 7 will represent a more real-world scenario and many of us are curious as to how beneficial moving to 64 bit will be.

Thanks for the benchmarks.

Startup and shutdown...  Ben_E | 08/05/09
Not really.  eqpc | 08/05/09
So, are you implying that XP is more stable because it takes longer?  Patanjali | 08/05/09
I never said that!  eqpc | 08/05/09
Sorry, I inferred it because XP IS the one that is slower  Patanjali | 08/05/09
Sorry also  eqpc | 08/06/09
Depends how fast they become  Patanjali | 08/05/09

Vista vs 7....  JT82 | 08/05/09
Because not everyone uses an OS just for speed  MissingMatter | 08/05/09
Superfecth is one of the reasons it is faster (nt)  NeoGeneration | 08/05/09
Even without those HDD compensating devices, W7 is still faster  Patanjali | 08/05/09
The real story is Vista is faster than XP.  ye | 08/05/09

Is Shutdown\Bootup Times Really All That Important  Carlito_Chippy | 08/05/09
remember...  Fark | 08/05/09
And Win 7 needs to be rebooted less than XP  Patanjali | 08/05/09
In the grand scheme of things .....  kd5auq | 08/06/09
Shutdown time is important  pauliusp | 08/05/09
Vista/7 automatically closes those prompts after a few seconds (nt)  MissingMatter | 08/05/09
Win 7 doesn't seem to delay much updates, even big ones  Patanjali | 08/05/09
Why doesn't anyone ever report standard deviations?  MissingMatter | 08/05/09
Probably because it's a level of detail that goes over most peoples' heads  Patanjali | 08/05/09
I Don't Believe You!  serpentmage | 08/05/09
XP displays a picture, but it's still starting services for some time after  Patanjali | 08/05/09
um...  Badgered | 08/05/09
store bought? Let's try clean install on homebuilt  eggmanbubbagee@... | 08/05/09
Vista DID improve a lot of basic performance, but Win 7 makes use of it  Patanjali | 08/05/09
I would expect that these tests WERE done with clean installs  Patanjali | 08/05/09
my reply was to 'serpentimage', not Adrian's article (nt)  eggmanbubbagee@... | 08/05/09
Sorry!  Patanjali | 08/14/09
Adrian, can you compare them to OSX ???  i8thecat | 08/05/09
Probably an issue of time  Patanjali | 08/05/09
Hardware changes over time...  i8thecat | 08/05/09
