I find little or no difference between the two systems when running CS2, but a major difference with Lightroom which was very sluggish on XP, especially when sending an image from Lightroom to CS.
There is obviously a difference in specs of the two PCs as I only built the Vista pc late March, with the XP pc being approx 3 years old.
XP. Athlon 2400 + 2gb ram. h/drive 2 x 300Gb + 2 x 300gb Sata drives Graphics card Sapphire Radeon X1650 PRO 256MB GDDR3 VGA TVO DVI-I AGP Graphics Card.
Vista. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 + (2.5GHz) Socket AM2 (2x512KB) Cache. XFX GeForce 6200 PCI Express graphics card. The 4 h/drives from the XP pc.
Memory 4 x 1 gb. I realise that the 32 bit operating system does not recognise 4 gb, but I find that the pc runs far better with 4gb than either 2 x 1gb (dual configuration) or 3 gb
