both boot up faster (by quite a margin) than my current system Q6600, 4gb ram with a 7200rpm 16mb cache.

something cant be right I think

Well something has to be wrong here too. 1.3 - 1.43GHz (OC'd), 512MB SD, 20GB 2MB, ect...

And my E2140 is all faster and SATA...

I don't get it either... maybe because CAS is lower?

Are you talking about the amount of time it takes the bios to do the hardware check or how long it takes once Windows starts to boot off the harddrive?

i dont mean to be rude your a good guy he or she has said windows booting up.

Booting time can mean from the time you hit your power button!

I mean the screen with the windows icon on it, and that running bar under it.
for example, the 4800+ pc used to do 4 runs of that bar, before contnue-ing to the desktop and finnish the startup. this one doe 13-14 runs of that bar.

also, isnt the CAS latency etc counted in clocks? aka, a cas latency of 3 is 3 clocks, 5 is 5 clocks etc? I mean, that would mean that ddr ram with a cas latency of 2.5 @ 400MHz be just as big as a CAS latency of 5 @ 800MHz, wouldnt it? I dont know exacly how it works, so its just a wild gues there

but if its like that, it cant be a difference in latency's or so beeing the cause I think

Yea its the time in the number of clocks that goes by between the memory controller and the memory to access the data, but still it shouldnt make a noticable amount of time for windows to boot. Sure you dont have a program loading that might be slowing it down.

Have you checked under your IDE/Sata controllers to see what mode your harddrive is running in?

**Archangel** · 12-23-2007, 07:14 PM

what mode should it be running? (not really sure what to look for :x ) I assume you mean in the bios?

StrangleHold · 12-23-2007, 07:18 PM

Depends in the drive, if its a IDE drive it should be atleast UDMA 4 or 5. If its a Sata it should say something like Serial ATA Generation 2 or 1.5. Control Panel-System-Hardware- Device Manager-IDE/Sata Controllers.

**Archangel** · 12-23-2007, 08:01 PM

the drive is an SATA 2 300 drive. but the list doesnt show anything like that :x

thats the whole list (except the audio part, but that works anyway)
the disabled thing is the w-lan adapter
