xp pro sp3 vs. xp pro sp2 vs. win serv 2008 64.

[Tempered81]

everyone says windows server 2008 is faster than vista vista/sp1 (all versions). well this comparison shows how much faster xp sp3 is than win server & xp sp2

comprehensive test showing performance improvements in xp after sp3 install:

Those results are pretty close.
The only one that interest me is the lightmark scores.
Is lightmark using OpenGL?

If it is that would explain it.
The performance of OpenGL under vista is still lacking.
I have lots of apps that require an almost perfect implementation and right now , vista doesn't have it.

No, everyone doesn't.

That comparison is pretty useless because they compare 32bit xp vs 64 bit server 2008 running 32 bit programs. how about 32 bit vs 32 bit, or 64 bit vs 64 bit... or something that would actually make sense, a 32 bit system with max ram (3.5GB or so) vs a 64 bit system with 8GB of ram for tests that can use the additional ram?

Why would one expect a useful scientific comparison from Xtremesystems.org?
