XP SP3 vs. Vista SP1 – Which is fastest?
In the TalkBack section on my post looking at SP3 benchmarks, _deitrich asked a really good question:
Adrian, how about a comparison of XP SP3 vs Vista SP1? Oui? C’est possible?
Good question! Fortunately I’ve already done a fair bit of the groundwork in that I used the Phenom 9700 system I have for benchmarking both XP SP3 and Vista SP1.
I benchmarked both operating systems using PassMark PerformanceTest 6.1 and bringing together the results from both tests allows me to answer _deitrich’s question.
