Windows 7 64 on AMD965 slower than XP on AMD6400
Last response: in Windows 7
Hello,
We upgraded our workstation from XP Pro on an AMD6400 3.3G dual processor with 4G Ram to a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a AMD965 3.4 quad 8G Ram (tired of the out of memory errors). No overclocking or any changes to the BIOS.
Although I did expect it to be faster did not expect it to be twice as slow.
MSIE 8 takes about 5 secs and load to google. On my OLD AMD2800 1.5G it takes 1 sec.
A large VB6 compile of a on the XP AMD6400 takes 20 secs (the source is on the win7 machinee) but takes 50 secs on the Win7 machine.
Everything just seems slower on win7.
How can I speed it up?
So far Win 7 has been a big disappointment. But nobody takes credit on the commercials saying it was their idea:-)

Since you double-posted I will give you the same answer twice:
I can say with some confidence that Win7 is at least as fast if not faster on the same hardware than XP ever was. It should fly on a Phenom II 965 with 8GB of RAM.
My guess is that something is not configured properly. How exactly did you go about installing Windows 7?

'Should be' is what I expected. Are you guys running 64 or 32 site.
Installed taking all the defaults. What should I look for?
I noticed that I cannot save goodle settings on WIn 7 in either MSIE 8 or firefox. Strange!
Did not update MB drivers. Usually I don't unless I know for sure that it need is.
