hey guys i just built this system and it seems to boot up pretty slow and just be a bit sluggish in general... bios is current as are drivers and its running stock speeds on windows xp64 sp2... using pentium D 640 3.0ghz as placeholder right now but its still a fast cpu...
it takes 40 seconds to restart the computer
and from restart to windows loading screen takes 16 seconds (decting drives and then showing the irq info for all devices) then another 42 seconds from windows loading screen to windows loading up. seems like a long time and things in general just seem sluggish compared to my old athlon 64 2.0ghz 3200+ system
here are my specs:
corsair 620wpsu
pentium 4 630 with tuniq tower
4gb corsair ballistix ddr2 800
samsung 500gb 3.0 sata
gigabyte p35-ds3r
2 samsung sata dvdrs
sound blaster xfi platinum
asus 8800gts 320
seems to run counterstrike source alright, and got a 4800 on 3dmark 06.
any suggestions or cocmments on why its being slow, or maybe its just my imagination? what else can i do to test its speed or speed the boot up and performance?
