PurSuiT Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have know this for a couple years now. Ubuntu Faster Than Windows XP http://www.itworld.com/small-business/6087...rnet-windows-xp "My Ubuntu machine returned a rating from the Bandwidth.com test of 22-25mbps over several tests. That's darn fast today, faster than normal. Then I did the same test from a Windows XP PC and got results from 12-14mbps. Still fast, but not nearly as fast as the Ubuntu machine." Ubuntu Faster Than Windows XP Feedback http://www.itworld.com/small-business/6101...ows-xp-feedback "The fun really came from the few responders who read my post carefully, tested it themselves, and confirmed my quick and dirty test. Several Slashdot members have dual boot machines that run Windows XP and Ubuntu and did the same quick test. Using a dual-boot machine takes out all the hardware variables, like RAM and hard disk speed and the like. In those few reports, they found the same thing I did: untweaked Ubuntu runs faster than untweaked Windows XP." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
