    A8N- SLI slow boot?

    It takes about 30 secs I am guessing...which seems slow to me. I do not have but two or three programs that load at boot. Windows boots quick, its the screen where it gives the commands to enter the raid set-up where it seems to lag. It may just be normal, I am just curious is all.
