I didn't say I didn't believe anything. I was simply trying to find out why a clean install only takes about 50% of the time seen here. We both run the exact same model cpu while the other hardwares are different. But you still have more then one hard drive in.
It wouldn't be board, video card, but might be related to having 8gb of memory to the 4gb used here. That has nothing to do with timings and speed(both DDR2 800) but may be related to using a PS/2 keyboard over a usb model but a smaller supply?
The measured time here since the first beta install for clean on fresh primary=20, replace existing installation=25, upgrade repair install=52 which preserves just about every program and driver installation.
