Windows Vista Performance – The proof

So last September I posted this about some Windows Vista performance issues I was hearing about and what my approach was going to be.  In October I posted this advice and guidance on how to get Windows Vista to perform.

Today I’m posting this short (seven and a half minute) video interview I did with Nigel Mulholland, the Managing Director of Nitec Solutions Ltd in Northern Ireland:

Click to start, double click anywhere to play it in Full Screen or move your mouse over it to get the Player Controls to pop up.

Nigel talks about the performance issues he has been experiencing and how he (with a bit of help from me) has overcome those issues.  Nigel is now rolling out Vista to all his employees and is recommending Vista to his customers (with the small caveat that the laptops he recommends are up to spec).

Enjoy,

Dave

Wonderful Dave, keep it at this rate and you may get some real technology partners recommending Vista......

2gb ram, 5400 rpm drive, vista sp1 here; no perf problems whatsoever, don't know why this guy is talking about turning off indexing, low level features, swap etc. i suggest that all that tweaking could actually impair performance if you don't know what you're doing

and 64bit adds zero perf gains unless you have > 4gb ram... it's architecturally impossible

A 64-bit computer can process twice as much information as a 32-bit computer in the same clock time.  Surely it's the architecture that makes that possible?
