The latest version of Windows Vista system has been released to the RC1 5728 version, and the same version before the release, Microsoft also provided us with 32-bit and 64 bit versions. Obviously, 64-bit Windows Vista will be available to 64-bit applications necessary to support, but so far only a small part of the company to upgrade their 32-bit platforms to 64-bit, 64-bit Vista installed on the user sometimes is still not not continue to rely on some 32-bit applications to work.
The problem is that Vista 64 Vista 32 better than the performance of What?
To answer this question Flexbeta site using PassMark's PerformanceTest V6 32-bit versions and 64-bit version did a test, the results should be no more than many critics had expected, and more than once before the 32/64 Windows XP system similar to the , 32-bit versions of Vista have certain advantages, the reasons leading to this situation is still 32-bit Windows provides a better driver.
Test platform:
- ABIT AN8 Socket 939 with nForce 4 chipset
- AMD Athlon 64 bit 3500 +
- 4 x 512 MB RAM Kingston Dual Channel 400 MHz (2GB Total)
- SATA 160 GB hard disk
- ATI Radeon 9550 8X AGP 256 MB RAM
- DVD-RW HP LigthScribe
Flexbeta record before the test, two versions of Vista site system installation time, the definition of the standard installation prompts the user to log on to the first subject.
Windows Vista 32Bit spent 23 minutes 13 seconds, 64-bit version of Vista by using a little less time - 21 minutes 2 seconds.
CPU Test
In this test, the test program through a special operation to deal with long list of exact random 32/64 bit integer. In this test, Windows Vista RC1 32Bit about 18% ahead
2D Graphics Test
2D graphics test depicted a series of 2D scenes, such as our screen saver in the common single-line increase, font rendering and so on. In this test Windows Vista RC1 64Bit share of opportunities, leading to a 27% increase
Memory Test
Memory test is a major test of a computer's memory subsystem, when the memory write or read operation to do all the tests have used an integrated 32/64 packets. The gap between the two operating systems do not test.
Disk Test
Disk test is divided into three parts: Disk Sequential Read (continuous reading), Disk Sequential Write (continuous write), Disk Random Seek RW (random read write).
3D Graphics Test
Unfortunately, in this test, 64-bit Vista refused to run this test, it will not be able to conduct a comparison.
PassMark Rating (Comprehensive Assessment)
PassMark Rating (Comprehensive Assessment) is a program under the various test results PerformanceTest Finally, an average score, the better value.
Compared with 64-bit Vista system, 32Bit Vista, about 3% of the leading edge, but it should have a 32Bit Vista's peak, and in the future, when all the drivers, codecs, and what other scripts are fully ported to 64-bit platform , we believe that time the "real" 64-bit platform will be able to fully reflect its position.
