Vista xeon

Finally got around to updating this topic after so long - sorry for the delays everyone! Thanks to everyone for the additions! I modified the I just took NT6. You can add these 3 INF files to the If you didn't take name entries from the Aero is working and i even played a 4K without any lag. If you want that INF files, i can upload the files. Someone may have mentioned this before, but Windows Vista seems to run fine with Haswell if it is installed on another computer and then the hard drive is moved to a Haswell system.

I tried this with Windows Vista bit but it should work with any version and had no problems arise. I didn't install drivers or do any extensive testing but it seemed to be fine. This was with a Q87 motherboard and an i CPU. I do plan on setting up the OS properly in the future, so I'll see if anything changes. I installed Vista on my Haswell laptop, and it appeared to work fine, didn't have drivers for the Intel HD Graphics though, so I can't really use it with aero or game on it.

This is one of the most useful Windows Vista posts anywhere! This gives the impression that Despite its lower version number, Thanks for letting me know.

WinClient Posted July 7, The most powerful Pentium CPU released to date, the G, is still far, far slower than any 10th generation Intel Core i3 processors which, by default, come with four cores and eight threads as opposed to four threads and two cores for the Pentium model.

L3 cache — CPU caches are like small batches of memory that the processor keeps close by to speed up certain applications. This extra cache is one reason why Xeons are often so much faster at high demand professional applications than Core.

To me, this is the single most important feature that Xeon offers over Core since ECC is especially important with higher RAM densities and with higher demand use cases where RAM failures are both more common and more devastating when they do occur. RAM Density — For professionals working in applications that require very large quantities of Memory, Xeon may be not only the best, but the only option.

In contrast, even the iXE , the most heavily threaded Core processor currently, has just 18 cores. Architecture Designed for Efficiency — Xeon processors generally use different CPU architectures and process nodes which support both these cache and core count improvements, but also offer more efficient power with a lower TDP. This translates to less heat generated, more heat dissipated, and less stress on the hardware long term, making them ideal for high stress workloads on a day in, day out basis.

So, which is best for you? But, if your usage is more mainstream to moderate or you primarily use more single threaded applications like Revit or AutoCAD, Intel Core offers much better value and may even perform better in those specific cases.
