Performance of win7 compared to Vista
i found this highly worrying to be quite frank, ive been running Vista Ultimate 32x SP2 for a long time no problems atall including with performance.
over the weekend i VM'ed a win 7 machine through Vista using the same Laptop receorces and it ran ok.
I then thought i might aswell move onto win 7 as vista is no longer the main focus point of compatability
So i formatted my drive fully and installed win 7 ultimate 64x within 30mins.
This is whats getting me though its slower than Vista! startup and log in just takes an age and Idle is at 900Mb with no startup Apps apart from the AV and windows stuff thats essential to start up.
Any ideas as to why its so slow to start up and using so much RAM at IDLE?
Specs:
Acer Aspire 5630
Windows 7 Ultimate 64x
1x 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
160GB Sata 5700RPM
256MB Intel GMA onboard Graphics
