--------------------------
The question is, why is the FIRST computer faster than the SECOND
computer? I have a GANGLOAD of stuff installed on the first one, and
maybe a fifth (or sixth) of the things on the second one. The second
computer has a faster cpu, faster memory. The SATA drive is actually
running at SATA ll speed. The first computer SATA drives are running at
SATA l speed(s).
Even the boot to desktop speed is faster on the first computer. :-O
This is very puzzling to say the least. Any suggestions?
TIA

still so hated
some two thousand years after his death."
