Before you go snag a copy of Vista from the store shelf and install it, you might want to consider the performance differences between an upgraded version of Vista and a clean installation of Vista. ExtremeTech tests a couple of systems running the two different versions of Vista with media encoding benchmarks, gaming benchmarks, and synthetic benchmarks.

I mean memory as in what Aero takes and windows degrades over time(should have been separate) . Game benchmarks and 3dmark is not a valid benchmark for this kind of testing.
3dmark is a pretty useless benchmark, how can you get any numbers from it(CPU benchmark) if it shows 1fps all the time on my A64 3700+?

//People forget to factor other things like memory, degrade over time which Windows always has.//
Say what?
How exactly does memory degrade over time?
I've heard of "registry bitrot", which I can understand for a flawed design as the Windows registry, but "memory degrade"? What exactly is that?
