[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1027496, member: 145676"] You can check geekbench but again to give you an idea but it isn't the greatest comparision between different OSs. It is at least a ballpark benchmark. [url=http://browse.geekbench.ca/]Home : Geekbench Result Browser[/url] It also depends on what you are trying to do. You aren't going to notice much speed difference browsing the web and watching videos. Playing games, encoding video, etc, yeah then you'll care. I always found this amusing too. [url=http://gizmodo.com/317060/macbook-pro-is-the-fastest-windows-vista-notebook]MacBook Pro Is the Fastest Windows Vista Notebook - Apple - Gizmodo[/url] Admittedly in bootcamp Vista does feel snappy. And now that I have Parallels Vista seems to run pretty well in a Virtual Machine. I've played a few games on the windows side, older stuff like Command and Conquer and Homeworld - they play well. One day I'll have to throw Doom 3 on and see how the Macbook Pro does. [/QUOTE]
