Vista seems to be slower ?

With all the dual core processors and 1+ GB RAM Microsoft VISTA didn’t perform as expected.

Later I found out the default power setting in the “Power Saver” plan limits the CPU to 50 percent.

To improve the speed

Open the Power Options from Control panel and change it to “High Performance” to give it full throttle.
