Scoot ... the whole key to your problem is that original opening boot .at 70percent.. you have TOO many things in the start menu.... as I'm on this box in the downstairs office, and it is slow and over a year old .. and I have NOT deleted everything I wanted to from the start menu due to the fact that it NOT my box .... hehehehe but on boot ... here is what it shows FREE ... not used, but free ... 91percent running QCharts, 5 WinExpWindows, email, it is only down to 73percent and this box only has 182 meg of Ram ... from recall on my others ... this is about what my stuff stays at ... above 70percent free ... and I can tell when it does hog more as things slow down some .... I have a CPU monitoring dealie on one of the boxes ... and even when I had the dual processors on one ... only in SPURTS would the chart jump close to 100percent used ... most of the time it was at idle, even with streaming data coming in at around 10percent useage .... I'll check WHEN I get the other boxes up and running this weekend .... First .... you need to go trim some of the stuff you have set up in start that is running in the background that you're not even aware of ....
