My i7 on the big bang with triple channel and ssd restarts over 10 seconds slower than my single core Opty on my DFI LP with regular sata drive.

Something ain't right I'd say.

Its not about the SSD, although that helps.

AMD boards were the SHIT back in the 939 days. Sub 30 second reboots on them easily

VIA chipsets were really good at that. NF were more full featured and hence slower but still better than modern systems

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.

Same motherboard?

If not, that is why.

Otherwise, fresh installs are slow until everything gets sorted. I always restart 3 times when testing boot speed. 3rd is usually the fastest.

Same everything except what I mentioned. I've installed the chipset drivers, the gpu drivers and restarted a couple more times and it's still almost 10 seconds slower. 60 seconds it is taking, and only have 1 storage device hooked up too.

I can probably tweak it down, but I think it should definitely be faster to begin with.

EDIT: diagnostic mode takes 76 seconds to load less stuff....hmmmmm??

re-EDIT: selective with the 2 startup items removed got me 45 seconds........hmmmmmm

Now I tried ticking noGUIboot and disabling services and it added 30 seconds to my time.

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