    Hi,
    I recently installed a PCIe Geforce 8500GT card on my desktop computer and now the computers boots up slower than it used to be.
    The main difference is in the early phase before the Bios options appear when i press the power button.
    Before, the Bios menu used to appear in less than 5 secs and now it takes around 10 sec.So i want o know if its normal ? As i bought this used card from an old friend.Other than that its working fine.
