Well my spec is as the sig says. My the drive i bootup with is a seagate 80gb sata-ii running at sata-ii speeds

My oc'd 146 opty is 3.0ghz stable, ive got a reasonably fresh install of windows and my ram is running as follows

My hard drive bench:

In msconfig ive got only two things in the startup which is CTFMON and atitray.

But it takes me 01min 07secs to boot up! Thats not including bios screen or login, thats just from when i see the windows logo to when i see the cursor!

i swear my old p4 3.2 booted quicker! Ive run bootvis plenty of times and no improvement.

Help!

Thanks

EDIT:01min 49secs from button pressed until tray icons loaded up!
