What's your boot time?

WD - Go into msconfig and tick noGUIboot and disable startup/services and run it again.

Why does my computer restart slower with a freshly formtted ssd and xp on the 1st 10 GB and triple channel, than it did with my old Seagate barracuda configured the same with single channel?

It makes no sense and I'm very dissappointed.

Did you install the OS with Sata configured to AHCI? Critical for best performance with a ssd.

I didn't know anything about it.
Thanks.
Guess I have more to do than I thought before I bench.

EDIT: either get BSOD or can't detect any storage devices.

I gave up on AHCI for today, but the restart time is getting better.....down to 41 seconds this time.

I have had problems myself with Xp trying to do AHCI - Go Win 7 for your fastest boot time.
