Windows 7 Home Faster than Ultimate ?

[SNaRe]

Today one of my friend told that Windows 7 Home is faster than Windows 7 ultimate.
I'm always installing ultimate edition of windows 7.
So is it real? Is there anybody tried it

My thoughts are that there will be a lot of people doing clean installs over the next few weeks and IME a clean install will be faster than an old one for a while.
And a lot of them will be going from Ultimate (RC or leaked versions etc) to paid for versions of HP.
I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.

what are you talking about?

no, home is not faster than ultimate.

Well your mate seems to think so. Thats your answer right there
I was just trying to explain why your mate might think its faster.

lol

He installed both of them as clean install for test

depend on your system, but in general, win ultimate has more stuffs than home pre, so unless your system is superb, then you will see abit different in speed between win ultimate and home pre. Thats why you should consider you version do u need, do you need to use all the advance features which are supported by ultimate or just general use. IMO for fast and reliable (home user) home pre is more than enough

win ultimate has more stuffs than home pre, so unless your system is superb, then you will see abit different in speed between win ultimate and home pre.

Even if that was the case, you could just disable the things in Ultimate that makes it slower.

Like i said, your mate says so and thats based on his testing so i would believe him but that might not be true for everyone's PC.

there is nothing in ultimate that makes it faster. nor in home.

i'm no expert, and haven't run tests, but i suspect that home may be a slight teensy-weensy tad faster, because it's a bit liter.

the possible difference in performance isn't worth worrying about - the difference in price is! there's no point spending a lot extra for ultimate if you don't need the extra features.

By the way, someone else asked this question in another forum i have just saw it. There are different thoughts.
Windows 7 Speed: Home Premium Vs Ultimate - Neowin Forums
I think i will give a try for both versions ultimate and home . After that i will tell results

 

[sup3rsprt]

there is nothing in ultimate that makes it faster.

besides the artificial RAM limit (16GB in HP and 192GB in Ultimate)

and the CPU/cores limit (1 CPU in HP and 2 CPUs in Ultimate)

 

[mickey megabyte]

ok fair enough sup3rsprt - but how many of us need and use more than 16 gigs of ram?

that's the only thing that made me think twice about getting home - until i realised that 16 should do me for a few more years, and by then the next os will probably be out.

 

[sup3rsprt]

HP is also limited to one CPU

Who needs it and who doesn't is not my point. My point is that Ultimate has the potential to be faster than Home edition. Not the other way around.

 

[mickey megabyte]

put like that, i have to agree.

Just because your friend tells you something, doesn't make it factual.

yes it does, according to a mate of mine...

 

[logicearth]

Just because Ultimate has more stuff would not make it slower...after all not EVERYTHING and EVERY FEATURE is running all at the same time. There is ZERO performance difference between Ultimate and Home Premium.
