Is xp faster than vista??  

i prefer xp, i have used vista at work but wouldnt be interested in buying at home when xp does just as good a job for my needs

XP is faster on the older systems. They just don't have the specs to run Vista sufficiently. On my two newer systems that have Vista, I have never had a problem, but I would not install it on my older XP system. It just would not handle it well.

it really depends on you processor speed. Though speed differences can also be caused by too much video effects from vista, thus a higher specs for graphics. XP though is much favorable as it is simple. combined with high end computers now, XP would be the way to go when you need speed. But if you are for additional perks, then vista is great, though you have to sacrifice speed.

yes xp is faster then vista for me any way

well iam having a laptop. it came with vista pre-installed. first i liked it but after a few days, the system started becoming sluggish and slow. then i realised that there were many processes goin on in the background. and plus due to the transition effects and all, vista requires a good amount of processing power, ram and quite some good amount of graphical memory to get it work smooth. i myself then installed xp in it and now its working perfectly fine and it is MUCH faster than vista as the processing power require for xp is minimal compared to vista. the virtual memory you get to use in xp is much much more than vista because of its many background modules.

I prefer xp than vista, because in vista, there are still many bugs that encountered and it usually much sensitive than xp, and in vista there are so many games that is not compatible with vista
