The difference is too little to justify a switch from XP to 7. Too much hassle. I do not think that you will feel a difference when using the PC. What can make a difference you can feel is to switch off the swapfile:

(…)
When you set up a 32-bit version or a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, a page file is created that is one and a half times the amount of RAM that is installed in the computer provided there is sufficient free space on the system hard disk. However, as more RAM is added to a computer, the need for a page file decreases. If you have enough RAM installed in your computer, you may not require a page file at all, unless one is required by a specific application.

Xp is better
speeds greater
It can be easily customized, Win7 cant be if you dont run aero. My intel card does not support areo.
And for xp there are softwares which can give the aero look and whoa my graphics chip can handle it.
Still today many buisness firms use xp
If it was that slow why do they use it.

Would be interesting to see how XP32 XP64 Windows7 32 and Windows7 64 compare on a average not highend $1000+ machine. Maybe a simple Athlon 64 x2 5000+ with 2 to 3 gig and a 500gig drive and average video card. Who goes and spends thousands every year just to play games?

Thanks for the article, probably saved me $200 bucks on a new OS on a used computer.

I have a Dell XPS that had Vista… BSOD>BSOD>BSOD Grrrrr.
So I install Lunix, to save my files… NICE, used but then slowed down on my usage..
So I then install Win7… WOOHOO nice!… noticed speed improvement, seemed more automated. i liked
I dual booted to Lunix for browsing, then dam crash.
So I decided to try a version of XP……………………….
WOOOHHOOOOooooooo. FASTER!
My webcam streams fatest, all software working, customizes easier, can be made to look identical to Win7,
haha, bla bla, yea i dont need nobody to tell me which just works, works better, easier, and is up to the task without the BS.
XP FTW
Oh and by the way, I tried dam Mac laptop for a day and was pulling my hairs out at how dam UN_user friendly it was for copy pasting,(dinosour button mashing C&V butons) no right-clicking, unmounting external drives, clutter F*k of bottom jumping icons…
Only good thing was battery and low heat. Lunix kicks it ass in User Interface :p
All this trama i had to go thru because of DAM M$ BSOD, BSOD I Hate u M$! & Luv your disowned XP!

Im sticking with xp, at least for a while more.
The devil you know…etc.

I have tried migrating to vista several times over the years, but always had to go back.
I just couldn’t stand the ass-ugly, glacier slow, user hostile, pos, UI that they bolted to vista.
It really made feel like tearing my eyes out every time i used it.

From what i have seen the GUI on 7 looks pretty much the same, and when i read the list of “improvements” i cant find that a single one of the many things i hate most about windows have been fixed.

For one thing, i can hardly believe its 2010 and we still have to “install” programs by letting them puke files all over the OS so they cant easily be moved or removed.
Its like the whole thing is designed by monkeys.

If they cant even fix basic crap like that why bother “upgrading”?
