Face off: Windows vs Linux real world RAM and disk tests

Courtesy Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Mon, 07/21/2008 - 15:21

Windows’ memory usage went up by 0.07GB, or 71.68MB. The CPU still fluctuated madly but hung around 20%. Under Fedora, memory usage increased by only 50MB and with a maximum processor utilisation of 4%, shortly resuming to 1% while sitting idle (with Windows still jumping all about.)
