Not so much the boot- it's the file swapping- that hard drive light goes on and stays on for a considerable length of time when I'm going from one email to another, opening a new web page, etc. etc. It uses Windows XP- it's an Asus EEE PC. It was worse with 1 GB RAM, but 2 has not helped that much- and one would think that 2 Gig RAM would really be enough to have a fast machine and not need the hard drive file swap so much!
