[Help] info on Gentoo Linux

[pinki104]

Hey people i need abit of information and comparison

Basically im currently on windows and there is an application i run many instances of and each instance uses 8-9% cpu roughly and im wanting to know if i formatted and used Gentoo would that amount decrease or would it have 0 difference.

My Cpu: i7 2600k clocked to 4.4

i can run roughly 8 instances of this application along with my browser and other small needed applications before my cpu is maxed but there is somebody on the same forum and almost same spec as me claiming they can run 20 instances of this application using Gentoo. I just wanted to come here and get some information because if this is correct i will be making the move to Gentoo

Thanks in advance

thanks for the information

as you most likely know windows takes about 20-30% ram standard from your resources no matter how much ram you have, does linux do this too ?

Thanks i have a spare computer that just needs a new psu so im going to buy one and give it a test on that, i will most likely start with ubuntu as i have never used linux before
