But if XP was running fine, why did you change?

Rubbish. I've got 4gb of ram on my athlon 6400 x2 and it runs perfect. Even with 2gb of ram it ran fine but just a bit slower but still ok.

I just tried out the suggested options:
gamebooster didnt have any effect and aero was switched off anyways...
I also tied out Readyboost on a fast USB stick... no effect!
I have the feeling that nulldc runs a tick slower because its a 32bit application and has to be emulated in a 64bit environment... does that make sense?

I switched to win7 because I hoped to get more speed with dolphin 64bit (which didnt happen)
I'm about to switch back to XP even if that means a lot of configuring again (bleh) because ram for my system runs around 100 euros which is too much for the old system somehow! i can only have 4 gb in total anyway since the max sepcification for the board is 2gb per slot and i only have 2 slots...

I believe 32bit code runs native under x64 on any modern processor, there's no 'emulation' so to speak.
