how fast for what? you might need to clarify what you expect to do from this rig. If its 1900x1200 gaming.. yeah.. its gonna slow you down.. if its for surfing the internet.. its great!

don't even remember anyone timing how slow (not fast) their MS office starts *grins*

I notice that Firefox is slower to start then Explorer *shrug* and after I swapped to Vista (was on my laptop) then I just use Explorer and are quite happy with it.

thanks for the replies.
i actually have this build (if you didnt guess) and it isnt running "as smooth as silk". ive seen videos of other similar builds and my build doesnt perform much faster than if i were to replace my e8400 with a e6750 (my mothers computer)
-the hdd is brand new; passed SeaTools tests yesterday
-fresh XP install just yesterday; only using <1gb of space (no porn is slowing it down) right now
-i removed the hdd jumper
-i updated the bios

any ideas?

p.s. im using XP home
