It all came up to speed with the change to auto detecting of the HDDs.

It is still 30% slower to complete post though, so I will look at the cache. What about the BIOS AV? should that be on or off. I assume it is intended to catch virus activity on boot disks but does it slow things down?

As will be seen by my more recent post, I have another issue with that machine now. :(

Cheers
