TW server 2k3 is faster than all the others editions I have tried
It's only matter of time to try the Greek edition, hope to be the fastest
I received Greek edition 2 days ago so I hadn't so much time

I'm proud to compete with you and all the other guys here

P.S: The Santa Claus came earlier this year lol...

sofos server 2k3 is faster in 32m only in the first 3 loops then the windows xp is very faster!

[3oh6]

you can't make blanket statements like that. i can make 2K3 faster than XP and XP faster than 2K3, it all depends on how the OS is setup. there is much more to the OS than what version it is. some people can make a really fast XP, some can make a really fast XP...there is no definitive faster one

[TONY GAL]

my friend 3oh6 i speak only default without tweaks.he is my opinion!
goodknight from greece guys!

[3oh6]

my friend 3oh6 i speak only default without tweaks in my opinion!

but what's the point of that

with that said, 2K3 was actually faster out of the box back in the day because it came default with LSC enabled...XP
didn't and that made it much slower. but that was around XP SP1 time so who knows with SP2+.

**PS what happened to this place, it stretches all posts again instead of just the post with the big image..that sucks

[TONY GAL]

i speak with windows xp sp3 not sp1,sp2,.
i try many 2k3 with all tweaks i know ,lsc,max mem,page file++and all the same tweaks in windows xp sp3 and i see that xp is faster in the end,only in first 3 loops 2k3 is a little faster!i say again he is my opinion in 32m and always with velociraptor
anyway !

[cheapseats]

nice PP Kintaro hope the Corsair works well for you man


guys what's the Greek edition OS ?

i only have XP here..

very nice cheapseats i gotta dust off the pi rigs soon

how much of a difference can you make to an OS if you set it up properly
not sure how much you wanna give away in what you setup but at least in time differences would be good to see

for example stock OS with usual tweaks that ppl would use say LSC 512-512 maxmem around 600-700 compared to your tuned OS

are we talking a few seconds or less?

ah man, i wouldn't even know where to start guessing from. i haven't done a comparison like that since E6600/QuadGT days. not even sure what i could dig up from screen shots would be relevant.

if i had to guess, i would say at least 3-4 seconds give or take. it isn't going to be night and day but certainly substantial enough. with i7 though, that number could easily be cut in half, hard to say really.

most of the setup use to be about getting the OS to get the most out of copy wazza, again, that isn't so much the case with i7 anymore i don't think

[Leeghoofd]

We've seen in the gigatweaking event Dino, that a system that was booted in diagnostic mode to be several seconds faster than the more tweaked ones (and faster ones on paper lol)... I always tried that and always was it slower...go figure...

Till now my I4memory aka eva2000 XP OS is amasingly fast for pi32, beats my teammates tuned server 2003 clock for clock. Yet I seem to get asswhooped by that taiwanese or chinese version lol

[Gautam]

Andrea Yang edition FTW!

Andrea Yang edition FTW!

funny thing about those OS's.....it is so easy to destroy the "natural" speed boost they tend to show over other OS's altering even the smallest little thing. Really though, when it comes to the sever/xp efficiency debate both OS's can be chopped down to the same efficiency IMO. I feel that there is a "ground zero" with regards to OS efficiency. It just boils down to finding that efficiency fighting through so many variables and different routes that can be taken to get there it can be mind boggling....

[Gautam]

Yep fully agree. That's why I basically don't touch my OSes at all for 32M. (Go on, chuck your tomatoes at me)

[dinos22]

Lee i know
that was a total fluke basically because everyone in this thread knows that just wont work obviously so either they are not telling the whole story or something was totally ed up with the OS in first place

Jody time to start some new comparisons hehehe

[kintaro]

nice PP Kintaro hope the Corsair works well for you man

thanks cheapseats.
i notice you post some amazing 7xx 8xx
you are always one step ahead.
i'm thinking over and over if it is going to be fatal vdim over 1.75

[3oh6]

Jody time to start some new comparisons hehehe

not quite what you were looking for but i am getting back into the swing of things which is the first step.

spent some time on a SPi OS...still using my E6600 32M OS up to this point. nothing like a little quality in an OS that
you don't understand a word in. coming along nicely but i still feel like there should be another couple seconds in this
setup. could just be the Classy (759) and this old ass BIOS showing their age.

EVGA X58 3xSLI Classified 759 (OG version)
Intel Xeon W3540 (3845B010)
