Ok, I just had a question for some of the experts out there that may be able to see why my computer is slower in loading games than my brothers. Please keep in mind these machines are running at stock speeds, but I am not sure why my load times are slower considering my components are all better other than the video card. Here are the specs.
Brother:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz - CPU
EP45-UD3P - Motherboard
Corsair PC2-6400 2x2GB DDR2 timings: 5-5-5-15
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+ 512 MB
Maxtor DiamondMax 21 STM3500630AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" - Hard Drive
My Rig:
Intel I7-920
EX58A-UD3R
Corsair PC3-1600 DDR3 3x2GB timings 9-9-9-24
Radeon XFX 4770 512MB (however I am replacing this card in a week with the 5770)
Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500 7H500F0 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" -Hard Drive
Please let me know what is causing his machine to load into games faster. I cannot think of anything other than perhaps the video card, but I didn't think that would affect load times. Much appreciated.
