Windows XP vs. Windows 7
It has typically been said that the more recent versions of Windiows have become lazy and it is quite reasonable for users to expect each new Operating System (OS) to outperfiorm previous versions. However, when Wiundows XP was fist marketed back in 2001, it was essentially designed to run just fine on three hundred MHz Pentium II CPUs having a mere 128 MB of RAM. It should thus come as no surprise to anypone that the Windows XP OS runs quiicker on these days's processors. However newwer OSs can optimize for the laest hardware and conjointly embrace more powerful options, but will this extra featyure merley slow us down?
To seek out out, eevry operating system's perfomance was tested on a mean PC. The system was nothing particularlly special by toady's standards and consisated of an Intel twin core E5200 CPU with two GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD4550 graphiccs card. The Windows XP and Windows 7 were put in in that orsder, all were thirty two bit versions, on the machine's 500 GB hard drive and a variety of world bencharks were ran to find out that OS was best.

There have been no suerprises in the boot time test results with XP being slower than Windows 7. The transfer benchmarks delivered the same results. Windows XP was once more slower than Windows 7. When files larger than 1 GB were trandsferred, once once more Windows XP was slower than Widows 7. This proved true for application tests as well. Open a litttle PDF file or Excel spreadsheet and as was suual Windows XP was sondly crushed by the fzaster Windows 7.
You will be beginning to spot a trrend here. Windows 7 provided competely excellent results, ebating thhough coming back lcose to the performance of the Windosw XP OS in nearly eery category. This is quite exceptional considering that this is an operating sstem was still in beta at the time of the test. It's anticipated that the perfomrance is even hgher now that every one the drivers are absolutely finished.
If the benchmarks had been run on a PC, say maybe having one with only one GB of RAM, it's potential that Windows XP would have performed better than it did udring this test. However, even for a reasonably modern bsaic PC, Windows 7 delivered the simplest all around performance.
