[QUOTE="ChalexJeep, post: 1122312, member: 174868"] I only have three things booting up on start up: ******:StartupItems ******$ ls -la total 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Sep 26 21:49 . drwxrwxr-t+ 59 root admin 2006 Aug 28 21:14 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Sep 26 21:49 BRESINKx86Monitoring drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Aug 19 14:14 FanControlDaemon drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Aug 5 07:57 VirtualBox VirtualBox is on both machines so I doubt that is to blame and this issue was occurring before I installed Fan Control. Also what I meant byt Hard Drive speed was that I don't believe a 7200rpm vs 5400rpm drive means twice the boot time, it may mean 5-10 seconds faster boot hence the reason why a faster hard drive is better. I just don't think the 1800rpm slower HD will yield a 35 second longer boot time. Also I took it to the Apple store and had a tech look at it. He ran through some diagnostics but everything checked out. What he recommended to me is to back up all of my files and re-install the OS and start from scratch. I might just embark on that route this coming weekend. [/QUOTE]
