Comments on: Vista SP1 doesn’t do anything to Speed up Vista http://www.pcextreme.net/news/vista-sp1-doesnt-do-anything-to-speed-up-vista/ Helping you make your computer a bit cooler Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:38:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: CPU_PUNK http://www.pcextreme.net/news/vista-sp1-doesnt-do-anything-to-speed-up-vista/#comment-28488 CPU_PUNK Thu, 22 May 2008 15:50:42 +0000 http://www.pcextreme.net/news/vista-sp1-doesnt-do-anything-to-speed-up-vista/#comment-28488 Alright what i don't get is why some would think that performance would improve with SP1 for Vista. From all the years of working with all Windows OS over the years one thing has remained constant any SP release for any MS OS will require more RAM. As to speeding up Vista I don't think it possible due to the security built into the OS for the file system. Vista is a resource hog if you want a preformance boost turn off the eye candy. XP had the same issue as soon as you turn off the eye candy there was a big performance boost. Faster boot times and more RAM was freed up for other applications.

Perhaps Microsoft themselves still don't know how to fix the speed issues with Vista just yet? Going on what SP 1 delivered for Vista I think it's safe to say that we will be expecting a SP 2 very early or perhaps a hot fix that helps speed up Vista. I like Windows Vista, but the issues surrounding the file transfer speeds especially just get under my nose. I've seriously considered going back to Windows XP, but much like what happened to XP when it first came out I'm going to ride Vista out and see what happens. - Dwayne Charrington I myself am disappointed with SP 1.
