I had a GA-K8NSNXP-939 that boot so fast, by the time I could see the Windows XP logo, the orange bar went half way, then to the desktop.
Replaced it with a K8N Neo2 Platinum, now I'm able to count like 4 passes of the progress bar, then the screen goes blank for like 5 seconds before the desktop appears.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have 2 raptors on the nvidia RAID driver with full defrag including system files and reporting from 140 to 150 MB/sec in ATTO disk bench and I still get 80 fps in Doom 3 1600x1200 Ultra, which is identical to what I was getting with the Gigabyte board. All but critcal services and software are disabled. I definately like the BIOS on the MSI board better and the nvidia SATA worked right the first time. Several failed attempts finding devices and boot hanging caused me not the use the nForce SATA on the Gigabyte board.
I'm thinking its a driver issue. Going to start disabling things like network and sound hardware and see if it helps any. If its going to be slower, I'd like something to blame it on if I can't solve it. I was using the Marvell LAN and Silicon Image SATA RAID on the Gigabyte board. I'm using the nvidia on chip SATA and LAN this time. All nforce3 drivers are in place and all that good stuff.
Anyone else already work through this already?
