    So ive been having really slow Boot times of late and only yesterday did i work out what it was.

    If you have the Intel 6300 Wifi card, when you install the drivers you get some right rubbish intel software for the card, that you dont need. Intel wifi technology or something similar. Anyway, if you have installed it, you can disable it in MSconfig\ start up.

    Long story short, added 60 seconds to my boot times. :rolleyes:

    I second that. I download the driver-only package...don't need all the tumor-ware Intel includes.
