Hi Bill. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 Dual 1 Gig Processors 2 GB DDR SDRAM One ATA Hard Drive The interesting thing is that the load time varies...sometimes its 3 minutes, sometimes its 7. Its like the OS is searching for something each time its loads. I was hoping there was a freeware program that could examine the start up code and fix whatever is wrong.
