rootnik Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 After not being able to install Tiger to this machine due to hardware limitations, I gave iATKOS Leopard a shot and have been blessed with a pretty solid install. Still, this notebook was designed with Vista in mind. It has a shinny new "Windows Vista" sticker on it, and while it is not on the highest end of the hardware scale it has the right specs to run Aero comfortably. I ran geekbench to see how much performance I was losing while running iATKOS over a fresh install of Vista. The results According to geekbench, instead of losing performance I am actually gaining by 13%. I expected the exact opposite. I know I am not alone here, who else has gotten similar results? I am interested to see how osx86 performs against Windows XP.
