Win2k Boot Time???

My boot time seems too long to me. BIOS boots in about 30 seconds, but then it takes Win2k another 2.5-3 minutes to boot up. I'm pretty sure that this isn't my hardware, as most of my components are quite fast. Check out my system specs in my signature. Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
On my 750 Tbird system (K7VTA PRO/256 megs) it takes exactly 60 seconds to load Win2k from when the BIOS letters become visible to when it's useable (not just showing the desktop.) That's after a recent OS install and only Zonealarm loading at startup. I think boot time has a lot to do with your motherboard. On the tv show The Screen Savers they built an ultimate gaming system with fast everything (1.33/DDR/SCSI etc.) and it took forever to boot. They mentioned that their motherboard was what slowed the booting down. My old system took long to boot and it bugged me, this quick booting is nice.
