CPU/Ram: P4 3.0C OCd to 3.4,1GB
Comment:

Came from an overclocked Barton to a P4 3.0C (OC'd to 3.4) and a P4P800-E Deluxe. Using Intel (ICH5) SATA RAID, and NOT the Promise. Startup 'drive'/partition benches at about 68MB/sec which is faster than when I had the Barton.

Slow Boots. Used to boot in under 25 secs (w/the Athlon), now its taking 1m10s or so.

I've gone through the startup calls with TweakAll and trimmed the list, I've run SpyBot SearchAndDestroy and AdAware to verify no spyware is running on start. Wondering if it may be the Intel driver or service (iaantmon.exe).

Any pointers? Any greatly appreciated.

Oh - and I've also gone through all of the services (using Black Viper's list) - nothing non-essential running.

What about defragging? Haven't you done that?

Yes I have. Also ran DiskCleaner to get rid of all of the temp files etc. Still a dog on startup.

Figured it out. Needed to set the primary boot device from Floppy (which I never used anyhow) to the RAID array. Now boots in 30 sec or so.
