is it true that since i need to "hack" to enable ACHI on XP, the performance will take a hit? from http://www.msfn.org/board/enable-AHCI-Inte...XP-t109450.html


It's not a "hack," it's just a registry edit to allow Windows to recognize the driver at boot. It's functionally no different than loading the driver from a floppy during installation.
Correct, and I made that topic to help some people out that I advised a chipset with ICH9 and were missing that performance boost on XP.

... only problem is file copying is still a pain, and improves with sp1 only by a little margin,...
I donīt notice anything negative about transferring data between Vista and Vista, it should give you a performance boost as the network layer no is more optimized. Are you referring to Vista to XP or visa-versa? Then wait a few weeks for SP3 of XP and you will have that part solved too newwink.gif.

How do you measure better? Is it faster? Any tests? From what I've seen on the Web (which need not necessarily be true) XP is faster than Vista on same hardware (either new or old).
I moved from 32bit XP to 64bit Vista and have to say that all "feels" smoother, an huge difference I noticed was when I opened Adobe Photoshop for the first time: It just pops open and itīs ready to use! (wow, I almost look like a Vista fan-boy now tongue.gif)

I can back up my XP partition to a single DVD or six gig flash drive....NOT so with Vista.
(it's way too big for that)
No problems here with that, as I use good compression. Time to move on and leave Norton Ghost for what it is an take a look at Acronis True Image (really, I would try it again although you had problems with it before, and no, itīs nothing personal).

That's not a fair comparison...

Okay, I cheat a bit. But who has XP 64bit legally? Now, 32 or 64 bit Vista has the same price, this is why I took 64bit and to tell you the truth I would never take 32bit Vista...

XP64, hands down cool.gif
Vista is overly bloated, sluggish at times, and lacks compatibility with older apps and devices.
Only with Win2008, it's starting to get better (although still some issues remain).
