Requirements for XP (Professional):
PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required
128 megabytes (M  of RAM or higher recommended
Requirements for Vista (Home Basic):
1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
512 MB of system memory
Basically Vista needs more than double the CPU and RAM power than XP does. Im not saying your a lier but I dont believe it. |
Read into how Vista works... hell I hated vista on my old system XP always ran better... Now my new system runs it faster then XP ever ran for me.... I build custom PCs, Repair them Etc... I am an IT specialist
Intel Core 2 Duo 6420 1066 FSB 4 MB L2 Cache
Kingston 2 GB DDR2 667 RAM Dual Channel Crossfire
Ati 2600 HD Pro 512 MB GDDR2 1400 MHz
Creative SB Live! 5.1
Hitachi 160 GB SATA 3 GB/s HDD
Western Digital 230 GB IDE HDD
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x86
Those are my specs hell XP doesn't even support 64 that well let alone dual cores Vista supports them way more and has more optimizations and is built upon the trusted 2003 Server Os base

NOTE: Since these reviews vista has vastly improved even more specially in gaming with the proper card and newest drivers
Hope this helps clear things up its a noticeable change in speed if you give it the power it needs
