I recently bought a HP TX1320 with AMD 64 2.2GHz
2GB RAM, 250GB sata HDD and Vista OS. It boots much slower than the one bought
last year which is ASUS W5F with Core 2 duo 1.66GHz
1.5GBRAM,100GB IDE HDD and Vista OS
Please tell me why ...CPU matters?.Because AMD has a much smaller cashe than core 2 duo ..or mother board matters? the HP has a better HDD(SATA), faster CPU...larger memory but small cashe memory ...AMD's is 1MB and core 2 duo has 2 MB

Probably because the list of programs that the new computer is configured to load when it boots, or the list of external network drives that it's trying to connect to when it boots, is longer than the one from the previous laptop. Maybe there's spyware on the new one, too. If it's just a few seconds' difference, don't worry about it. If it's more than that, you need to investigate further.

The reason is because the real clock speed of AMD is slower than that of Intel. Therefore, AMD PCs run slower than Intel ones. Next time buy an Intel one...

Its probably the software that is installled. Maybe at boot up, you are loading up alot of unneeded crap too. Or maybe Vista is slowing you down, with more power, it graded your comp higher, and is using more power.
