Hi, was wondering what makes my Pentium dual core boot up so slow on windows 2000? It's about 4 mins time, 2 mins slower than what I used to get on a 3000+? Isn't that a dual core is suppose to make it fly?
In contrast the boot time on XP takes only 1 min.

Have you installed Service Pack 4 and subsequent Updates, as well as the latest Motherboard Chipset Drivers/Software ??

Yes, installed all updates and SP4. My motherboard does not have raid. so it doesn't require pressing F6 during installation.

I stated Motherboard Chipset Drivers, this is unrelated to the F6 at Install.
