What makes you think XP would be faster? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-or-xp-on-same-pc-power-wise-#post-41834 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:53:06 +0000 raphoenix 41834@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>DELETED BY Rick P. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-or-xp-on-same-pc-power-wise-#post-41828 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:38:00 +0000 whs 41828@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>XP will probably run slower. Would be my guess because it may not make much use of the quad. But when you made the experiment, let us know.
