Any update on XP performance?

[Oldschool61]

Just wondering how this is playing on XP now. My stinkin PC (mobo/bios issue I think) freezes when I try installing win 7. Gonna try and flash bios soon to see if that helps my win7 installer freeze problem. IF not I hope its playing better on XP now.

Im using xp64 bit and have no performance issuses related to windows.

There are some shader issuse related to xp using directx 9 but they have been minor graphic issues no show stoppers.

The best upgrade one can make now is the OS as far as I'm concerned.

From what I been reading people switching from winxp to win7 have been very happy and reporting game runs much better for them with the switch.

I have Win 7 but I have been having trouble with my motherboard liking the installer. It gets to the blue screen with the dove and stops...mouse works but the installer just stops. I know the win 7 is good because Ive run the installer on other comps and it works fine.

Im gonna try and update by bios and see if that helps. If not its either XP 32 bit or by a new mobo.

Maybe it just takes for ever. How long did you wait before you aborted?

I use win.7 but also test on XP each new patch.
So far nothing new. Performance is terrible and graphics are too buggy.
My plane is half transparent, I can see the propeller through the cockpit, damage decals don't show up, Ground becomes a big black patch with land shading on anything above "low", low-level flight with trees on anything other than off results in 5FPS and overall performance sucks. Also reloading flights sometimes ends up with the sim. displaying the loading screen but no loading bar- no progress at all.

On windows 7 it's like a totally different product- one that works (latest patch worked wonders, either).

I gave it about 10 minutes then said f-it. I ran the same win7 on my laptop and it only took a few seconds to get past the main windows screen.

Heres my system currently
Biostar A760G M2+
Athlon Phenom X3
2GB DDR2
EvgaGTS250
Win XP Pro 32

Im thinking it may need a bios flash. Biostar website says it supports vista
so I was assuming that win7 would also be supported
