@SiM - got it, thanks. Which flavor of vista?
@moogle - got it, thanks... if you have 4 gigs of memory why not run XP 64-bit? XP 32-bit can only use 3 of them
@Biscuit - is bootcamp a boot manager or a virtual machine?

no bootcamp lets you run windows as if it was a normal windows PC as far as i know
Results, running XP Professional SP2

Doing a similar encode on my graphics card takes seconds rather than minutes though...
I dunno man, from what I've seen Vista is a resource hog and a slow-down depressing O/S. I've used it on a overclocked quad system and found it to be very laggy in comparison to XP. As an example, XP on that machine boots up using about 200 megs of memory in contrast to Vista which boots up using 750 megs. That's unacceptable.
EDIT: Thanks for the new data, all. Will update shortly.
Well Vista intentionally uses more RAM when there is loads of free ram to make stuff quicker. AFAIK it uses less ram itself once you open ram hungry applications
@SiM - interesting, I didn't know that.
@directhex - dunno about that.... since Vista is a aggressive pagefile user, it will page out everything in RAM which meas more pagefile usage. Since the page file is on the HD, that's more disk activity. I have 4 gigs on my system and it floors me when the system is only using 500 megs that my page file is also used... that's just inefficient coding.
My Debian LINUX system I use for my PVR has 512 megs by comparison and in the 4 years I've owned it, it rarely writes stuff to the swap partition.

Vista Business x64, Mac pro, 2x Xeon E5462 (harpertown) @ 2.8ghz, 6xmultiplier, 1600FSB, Intel 5400B Chipset, 6321ESB Southbridge, 2GB 800mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM 5-5-5-18
CPU-z has issues with this system (latest 'stable' edition BSODs because of the EFI, and the supposed fix reports incorrect core speed and very strange numbers for FSB) but should be all the details you need above
