Is this enhancement request as easy as creating a bigger RAM drive at Boot and loading copying all the files needed in the RAM drive or am I being so simplistic its not funny - It just ticks my off the my quad core running a much faster clock and more physical RAM taks so much longer and both PC have the same identical number of HDDs, USB devices and the Athlon has speakers where the Phenom does not. Both use the same Video Card and drivers both at default. Both use ASUS AM2 socket motherboards and both have same size, almost, SATA HDD Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Turn Both PC's on from shutdown at the same time 2. 3. Actual Results: Athlon is quicker by far at boot and final display of Desktop Expected Results: Can we do something that sounds so simple as creating a larger RAM Drive and copy all required files into the RAM drive and load the files from RAM. I think this is such a poor suggestion and I must admit my knowledge of the boot loader is good but not excellent and this morning I am loaded with Espresso to the maX -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
