Windows 10: W10 Pro vs W219K configured as desktop Performance difference

Hi folks

I'm running 2 VM's - one a W10 pro X-64 and the other a W2K9K server which I've "jigged" to behave like a desktop -- performance difference between the 2 is quite staggering - gave both systems same mem. cpu etc etc . Both VM's on fast SSD.

W10 runs like an old Donkey compared with W2K19 server -- OK I know a lot can't get their greasy mits on that type of server (you might be able to get a trial version) but why the difference between the two. Same installed apps on both.

Even when both VM's are quiesced the CPU use of W10 is going all over the place - this is after both systems booted up and left for a while so any start up things should have loaded and done their business.





Any Windows (or Windows server) gurus out there have any idea -- what can I kill from Windows 10 start up so it seems as lean and mean as the server.

BTW on the server I've installed all the "Desktop experience" such as video / multimedia / sound so it's as near to a standard W10 pro desktop as possible.






Host machine has plenty of resources - 64GB RAM, dual processor (i.e 2 physical CPU's), 2 X ethernet fast 10GB LAN ports, 2 GPU ports plus one old fashioned VGA (terminal) type port, SSD's etc. Lack of resources on Host - not an issue

Performance concern


Hi,

My desktop basic configuration is ...

• Processor: AMD FX-8320,
• RAM: DDR3 16GB (HX318C10F/8 x 2),
• HD: WD Black 1TB,
• Motherboard: Asus M5A97,
• Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5450 &
• SMPS: Cooler Master GX 650W

In stead of good configuration, most of time I don't feel better performance. I don't play any game. I do just common work and run virtualization (VMware Workstation 12 Pro).

What applications, I should use for checking benchmark performance?
Please suggest me some tips & tricks for enhanced performance.

Regards
Sanjay

 

is there any demand for a system configurator?

Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.
