Got almost the same system P3 700 , 3x256 mb sdram .My fsb is 100.
I need 65\" to get to my desktop and 105 to have everything setup ( and I have an internet connection ) on my taskbar .
If I count the time my computer needs to setup scsi card ,drives and cdroms you may add 15\" .My complete setup takes 120\". You can use BootVis.exe , and perhaps eliminate some taskbar setups you can setup later only when you need them (in the registry \"run\" and the startup folder from the startmenue ) .The more you have installed that has to be activated or simply does activate ,at the startup , the longer it takes .I do not think that a P4 will make a lot of difference ,
