![]() ![]() Clean install everything, don’t install unneeded adware/bloatware/freeware/cheap-crappy-VB-ware, and you should find that there will be a speed increase. If you are having issues with Windows, upgrade to a faster hard disk and up the memory to 512MB. In terms of my experience, I have run Windows 2000 and if you have a 5400rpm drive, no matter how much memory your throw at it, it will still run crappy. The only time you would notice a significant slow down in spee was when one used a processor intensive application such as compressing something or playing audio/video, which generally chews up a fair amount of cycles. Having installed and sold machines with Windows XP and 2000 installed, the rule of thumb is this, give Windows as much memory as you can afford and the speed will take care of itself.įor example, by parents old computer was a Pentium MMX 200Mhz, however, it had 512MB RAM installed plus a speedy hard disk. This is partly the reason why my next desktop system will be a G5, I can always do my VS.Net development in Virtual PC and I’m hoping that the G5 will give me emulated performance equal to that of most P4 systems. I use PC’s from both camps, and Apple is building a lot of goodwill by allowing me to preserve my investment. Safari is faster at rendering than IE and lot more modern with tabbed browsing nd pop-up blocking its bookmarking is significantly better than IE. The PDF viewer is noticeably faster than Jaguar and XP Pro (Acrobat). It appears that Apple optimized the system further and maybe that is contributing to a 20% (subjective) performance increase. The visual feedback feels better now than my XP setup and I don’t have Quartz Extreme. Windowing, Menu’ing, Scrolling all work like butter and are very fluid. Panther is a big deal, the new Webkit forms the basis of Apples Sherlock, Help, Mail viewing, so all those applications experience a many fold rendering increase in speed. In my experience, Apple PC’s have improved in value with each new release of OS X. ![]() So it looks like Longhorn will push it over the edge. ![]() My Wintel is a Dell I bought in 2001, and XP Pro is pushing it, I can feel it. Sure Windows XP is fast, but you got to keep the hardware current as my older PC’s became pretty much obsolete. ![]() My 1999 Compaq is already in the trash, I took it up to W2K and it crawls. My 1999 PowerMac G4 with an ATI Pro GPU, has improved considerably with each release of OS X.
