Just wondering. I installed my 8800GT last night in my q6600 system, replacing a 7800GT. One thing I noticed that on boot up, the text that usually flys by so quickly you can't read it is now being displayed a lot slower. Its almost slow enough that you can read some of it. Its actually quite noticeable.

Once the machine boots, the card works fine so I know there is nothing wrong there.

Has anyone noticed this or can offer a reason why this happens?

No idea why, but ATi cards (all of the ones i've ever had recently) did indeed boot up faster than the 8800s seem do.

X1300, X1900XT, HD 2900XT...all faster bootup than this GTX.
