hi
My newphews and neices have a really old machine that's intel core 2 duo. But with a samsung evo drive this has turned into a 5 minute boot machine to a 30 second boot machine. (The 5 minute boot was partially down to the really old and redundant mechanical hard drive that was 156Gb and probably 10 years old).
Anyway, machine is OK for now, at a later stage I will upgrade their mobo, cpu and ram to a sandybridge machine.
Ive had bad luck with motherboards, the laptops seem to go through post at a blink of an eye. But the desktop mobos seem to take a good 10-15 seconds. I've always stuck with asus and I have one pz68 mobo that does POST for 20 seconds!
Anyone know of a very good mobo that can go straight to OS quicker? preferably in 2 seconds?
