RAID helps that, are you running 1 or 0? These aren't the GXP drives that IBM has had to deny the need to recall are they? there is a class action in CA and possibly going to happen elsewhere about those drives. Also, are you running X or 9.x? you never specified. That load time is normal under 9 for the speed system and RAID. -- Ryan Coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
