Can anybody make sense out of these results?

What would be your recommendations?


All tests were done with a G400+RRG combo, the latest drivers for each OS, capturing to a Fasttrack100 Raid0 array with more than 60GB available space.

The differences in test parameters (RGB, YUY2) were caused by the limitations of the respective Matrox vidcap drivers under the different operating systems.
