I had a intel p4 3g dual thread with 4g ram. running w7pro 32bit.
went to a hp i7 3.4g 8g ram running w8.1 64bit
usually the old pc took ~4min to boot
new hp is up & running in 20 sec. Sometimes it takes ~2min to boot. Dont mind the 2min but am amazed @ the 20sec.
As a mater of fact i stopped useing ubuntu(linux) because w8.1 is so fast.
Any one know whats going on? TIA
