I've got a T7400/2GB RAM/100GB 7200rpm 9400, and Windows XP SP2 is like a supersonic jet -- no lag, nothing! I can barely reach a CPU load of 60% when having dozens of windows open, and running CPU intensive programs.
With Vista RC1, my CPU load is at 8-12% idle. When doing some basic stuff like burning a CD and whatnot, CPU load is at 60-70, sometimes 80-90%. Is this how Vista final will run on the Core 2 Duo processor with max specs? The only problem I can see is my memory being 533Mhz and not 667, however, this should not really slow down the system so visibly, compared to XP SP2!
Does anyone have similar experience with Vista running [relatively] OK, but not as smooth and as fast as XP? I have AERO/etc. enabled.
Maybe it's just RC1 and things will be much faster in the final version? Hopefully.
Cheers!

Otherwise I feel like im running Windows XP on my old AMD XP2000+ with 1GB of RAM.
