Ehhh I don't know....

I just built a new 920 rig overclocked to 4.2ghz to add to my 3d renderfarm. I decided to give the win7 RC a chance. Made a DVD and installed. Everything looked great, found the network just fine...I liked it.

BUT, 3d rendering on my 4.2ghz, was 40% slower than my 3.8ghz system with Vista.

WTF? I did some tests and found that win7 was just about half the speed of Vista, at least when it comes to 3d. I'd think you probably wouldn't notice any performance differences with normal everyday stuff, like web browsing and such -- but really beat it up with some high end 3d work, and its exposed big time. I'd wait until they release the real deal, and then wait even more until they release a service pack.

Anyway, its basically Vista, but slower.

If anyone requests, I'll set the clock speed the same on my Vista and Seven rigs, and do a BlackBox system test and post the results in this thread.
