Comparison Between Windows Vista and XP Pro SP2 When Using Q6600?

Discussion of Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor

Posted Aug 23, 2007 - I purchased Windows XP Pro SP2 last year but I didn't use it. Lately, I've been reading Intel Quad Core 2 Q6600 reviews and about its recent price drop. Compared to Vista, what would the performance be if I used XP Pro SP2 instead? I've read a number of Q6600 reviews and the testers all seem to use XP Pro SP2. Vista has a new feature for quad cores called "load balancing." How much of a difference would it make if I used XP without this feature? I will be running 2 CPU intensive business apps and a special permanent memory resident disk program. If I bought the Q6600, in XP if possible, I would manually assign the last 3 cores to these tasks. I would leave the first core for regular system usage and other apps. Would this setup work in XP and would there be any performance difference compared to Vista? I do not want to buy a whole new set of software again. Thanks.
