What is a good start-up sound system?

Slow system boot on my new gamming rig: read?

• Ok I built my new system, here is specs: MSI K9A Pltinum Crossfire 3200 AM2 motherboard, AMD Athlon64 X2 5200 2.6ghz AM2 CPU, 2x 1gig sticks of OCZ ATi Crossfire certified memory (DDR2 800 4-4-4-15 T2) Western Digital 160gig Sata2 hard drive, ATi Radeon X1950XTX + Radeon X1950CF ok system load is slow, after it gets into windows it takes about 20-30 seconds longer to be active than it did on my 939 system using same video cards but DDR memory and an Athlon64 FX55. All that i have on startup is my sound, video, mouse, and network driver loading. I am virus and spyware free and i have even tried downloading both the microsoft and AMD dual core patches for WinXP but they no help!. this is a fresh install with my WinXP Pro disk. After the amazing slow boot up, the system runs like a champ and blows games and multimedia away, but its sooo slow at startup. I have been running like this about 2 months now (thats when i actualy built the system) its getting annoying. Please advise

• Answer:

  First: start, run, msconfig, startup tab, now deselect the things you dont need to start up (but be carful not to stop system files). Now do a diskdefrag (start, my computer, right click the drive with the windows os on it, properties, tools, defragementation. Now: restart but go into your BIOS. Look for some settings that might slow the computer down. Oh and also make sure your memory is in the right places, check with your motherboards manual to see were two 1gbs should be Thats all i can think of for now.
