PCIe , Was: Updating an XP box

I think there is an option in the BIOS concerning how well that you want your memory to be "checked" when the system is booted. The entire purpose of that option is to be able to shorten the boot time. You probably know more about this than I do... Bill It's actually an OS boot delay. I ran a boot trace on it, and there is a CPU limited activity for about 20 seconds, with no disk access or named routines showing in the trace. I haven't run a boot trace on the 32 bit boot up to compare. People have probably heard of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addres..._randomization But I don't think this activity is related to that, as ASLR should just be for program launches. My BIOS RAM test is turned off. ******* The reason I was even testing a 32-bit OS, is I was making a 32-bit Macrium Emergency Boot CD. If you boot with Macrium, I discovered I can run 32-bit HDTune from there. (Run the HDTune off the Program Files of the hard drive C: .) This allows benchmarking without OS maintenance screwing up the trace. The installed 32-bit OS was just a staging area for that test. I wasn't doing the install as an everyday driver or something.
