Indeed. I have a dual core laptop and 2 gigs of RAM with Vista Home Premium on it, and file transfer between its HD and USB2 external HD is half that of what it'd be on XP.

You'd think they'd addressed this by now.

My personal experience is Vista x64 is up there with my XP in gaming,infact no issues,stability is just awesome,it'll be interesting to see how well AMD/ATI drivers are on Vista x64 compared to Nvidia drivers in a week or so when I get my 4850 card.

I've actually been considering moving to Vista 64-bit myself now that there are mature drivers for all my components but I havn't had the time lately to get involved in a full re-install which apparently is my only option to upgrade from 32-bit.

I'm also a little concerned about running a dual-boot system XP Pro & 64-bit Vista.
