I run 2008.05 snv_86 on an Asus P5-KVM motherboard with 2 gigs of RAM and the GUI takes like 5 or 6 minutes to come up on mine as well.
I'm using the onboard NIC that's built in to the motherboard. According to the device driver utility on my desktop the onboard NIC is an: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller using the "vgatext" driver. Is this the same driver that you're using on your Asus motherboard? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
