I just built a new computer for the folks with these parts:
E8400
corsair 4b 5-5-5-18-2t
9800 GTX
Seagate 7200.11 500gb 32mb cache
And this may be nitpicking a bit, but on my friends system.... which has a Q6600, 4gb ram, and a seagate 250gb 7200.10 16mb cache.... He can click on firefox and it instantly loads up, you can't even see the hourglass.
On my system I click firefox and it is not instant.... It takes 1/2 second to 1 second to pop up.
We both have windows 32 bit, my is home edition, his is pro.
Its not really a big deal, but I'm just afraid something isn't performing up to par since mine shouldn't be any slower, performing such a task, than his.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT:
I don't know if it matters any, but once I've brought the first firefox browers up all the others I bring up load instantly. Which is what my friends computer does, only it also loads the first instantly.
