Speed in Dolphin would be about the same probabaly. But windows 7 is a much better OS.

What about using a moded OS, like Windows 7 gamers or nvidia edition? Will the speed result be the same?

Modded Windows OS? Such things exist?

Yea, I see people using the nvidia edition of windows 7 and gamers editiont. And they are suppose to improve gaming performance. So does modded OS's work for emulators?

I have XP, Vista and Win7, and performance wise XP is the fastest due to lack of unnecessary background processes, good architecture, but Windows 7 is not far behind.

The real bad apple in the bunch IMO, is Vista. It's the slowest OS I have tried in ages. That's not to say it's not usable; It's good for casual use. But even booting in Vista takes longer than in the other two options.

is people like you who has given a bad reputation to vista, I tried both (vista and 7), and belive me, sometimes i get more speed on 7 and sometimes i get more speed on vista, and in the booting part, i get similar results on both (the problem with vista is not the speed). I might do a video about it.

vista just got a bad rep because they redesigned the core and at the beginning alot of programs weren't compatible. Vista does use slightly more memory than 7 but i would say there's only about a 10% difference in speed

I've recently jumped from winxp x32 to win7 x64, oh boy, there's a huge difference. Win7 x64 plays most of my games smoother and faster. I don't know about gamers editions but I think they're just a waste of time (or money), a plain PC well configured with decent hardware and a x64 OS should be sufficient.
