Computer Still Slow

[wildgene789]

Alright heres the DEAL, i spent money on a computer and want it to be fast!
I have a Phenom II 940 x4 with 4 gb ram @ 1066mhz, 2 x 500GB hd with 32mb cache, and a GTX285
Alright so basically im the type of guy who counts the loading bars on the computer. So i switched to XP yesturday and everything is installed but im counting 14 BARS!!! I get less on my laptop! Am i doing something wrong? Is it trying to read all the harddrive space? i would put it in raid but i dont have a floppy! Maybe my rams not setup on bios right?

What motherboard and have you installed south bridge drivers?
This was a SS for Biostar TA790GX XE mATX + P2X4 940BE boot up time for a client : XP with AV, programs, etc all in

Didn't fiddle with RAID/AHCI just native IDE! WD 640 Black

Clear the bios.

Viruses, Trojans, Malware?
