So, I bit the bullet and bought vista. I decided to see how my 3dmark06 score would be in comparison to XP. Videocard wise everything is about on par, however, it appears my CPU took a nose dive, even though it is clocked the same..... Heres the info:
System and CPU Information
Operating System Microsoft Windows Vista Microsoft Windows XP
DirectX Version 10.0 9.0c
Mobo Manufacturer EVGA EVGA
Mobo Model NFORCE 680i LT SLI NFORCE 680i LT SLI
AGP Rates (Current/Available) 16x / N/A 16x / N/A
CPU Name Intel Core 2 3503 MHz Intel Core 2 3503 MHz
CPU String Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz
almost a 300 point drop the CPU side. Any idea what would cause this? I know its not a big deal, im just interested to know, as I would figure performance in vista would be better not worse....
Oh, I used the system in my Sig Except, its at 3.5 ghz, not 3.55 and I clocked the vid card in at 670/1900
