Just thought I'd share thisa with you, I think I've just found the sweetspot for Vista Ultimate 64.
Ever since I put it on I've been disappointed with its speed on my E6600 C2D which was definately slower than my 4800+ X2 on XP.
Anyway, tonight I've overclocked the C2D from 2.4Ghz to 3Ghz (quite a modest OC that requires no extra voltage).
Wow, what a difference, Vista is now performing like XP was, maybe even a shade faster.
So I think I've just found the sweetspot speed for nice performance with Ultimate 64 (I also have 4GB memory for reference).
Benchmarks show the OC is performing a little ahead of an E6700 and just behind a 2.9 Ghz Xeon on Dhry test and ahead of the Xeon on the Whet test (SI Sandra).
