benifin Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Hi allHere are the figures:-- Factory slipstreamed Vista X32 SP1 Install DVD "fully stipped with 1.1.6RC" gives an installed HDD footprint of ~ 1.1gig excluding swap file.- User slipstreamed Vista X64 SP1 Install DVD "fully stipped with 1.1.6RC" gives an installed HDD footprint of ~ 5.4gig excluding swap file.I presumed and expected the HDD install size would be around 2X the Vista X32 size BUT its nearly 4.5X the size of Vista X32 SP1 ?!?!?.I am using the -extreme switch for each and am checking WINSXS for each-> is it possible that the the difference is due to X32 being a Factory sliplstream and X64 being a user slipstream ?**OR**=> is this normal ?Thanks, BenPS: FWIW, the RAM footprint for each above is very similar:- Vista X32 SP1 is ~ 230meg and Vista X64 SP1 is ~ 290meg Edited April 28, 2008 by benifin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolash2o Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 x64 editions have folders such as "SySWOW64" and "Program Files (x86)", etc... to keep x86 compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benifin Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Really ??From memory, I would have sworn that when I last did a full-vlite-stripped install of Vista X64 [ pre-SP1 ] the HDD installed size was around ~2.5gig (?)Why whould SP1 on a slipstreamed Vista X64 have more than doubled its HDD installed size ?ORIs my memory of the installed size of Vista X64 [pre-SP1] wrong ?Ben Edited April 28, 2008 by benifin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 4.5X the size of Vista X32 SP1? Not normal, it should be 2X the size.You could recheck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eryen Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Probably Vista steel keeping old WinSxS files. And too many backup files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
