Windows Server 2008 is 20% faster than Vista

[PhilDoc]

I was really excited about this thread until I looked at the OP and realized what started it was someones blog. None of the test were specified and They didn't mention if the gain was against Vista sp1. When I first tried 2008 I noticed very quickly that file copy was much quicker and that sm2 and sm3 were higher in 3d06. I posted the 3d06 scores in the AMD section. That was against Vista before sp1. I suspect there's would be no difference between the two if both were configured the same and sp1 was installed.


Edit: Here you go. 2008 vs Vista. Vista on the left. I don't remember the card clock, around 891/1300 on a 3870. Cpu was a Opty 185 at 3.1. The sm2/sm3 scores in 2008 were the same I was getting in XP.
