Hello,
I've asked the following question on other site forums without any real answer.
I've build a new system and installed a clean XP Sp3 OS.
For some reason though, my new faster system takes about 3 times longer to get past the initial Windows XP Logo boot screen than my slower XP SP2 system did. I don[t think that this boot cycle should take so long (around 20 seconds as opposed to around 7 on my old slower PC).
Does anyone have any clues?
It really isn't a major thing, but when you go from a single-core P4/160Gb HDD to a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo with SATA II HDD's with approximately 40% faster transfer rate then you wonder why this slower boot time is the case.
