Has anyone had any problems with the speed of this PC? How fast does it boot up?

First off windows 8 boots up really fast. Then in this PC it is incredibly fast. I have a Apple Mac Mini MD388LL/A Desktop with 16gb RAM and this PC with 8gb beats it flat out. I have no problem whatsoever with the speed.

I bought a Samsung ssd 256GB and cloned the drive with the included software. Works great. Just estimating the boot time before and after by counting in my head, before it took say 40 seconds from when I saw the first bios splash screen, and after putting in the ssd it takes 6 seconds to boot.

I have been using this computer as a work computer without any problems at all. The one thing I would suggest is getting a 550 watt power supply and changing it out as soon as your get the system. I have found lots of people have had problems with the incredibly wimpy one that comes with it.

It is plenty fast enough for me. I have over clocked this chip to 4.8 with the occasional hiccup, so I use it as my daily PC at a stable 3.9. With a Crucial SSD for my OS and a Raptor for downloads, this rig has done everything I have asked it to without hesitation...games, Blu Rays, whatever.I have gotten the itch to build a new setup, but only for newer technologies my motherboard does not provide.I do agree there are cheaper options available to you now. 3 years ago this was the most bang for MY buck:-)

Generally, all my system problems seem to originate from my internet provider. Hard to find any faults with the Extreme II; except I thought a solid state drive would be a faster on the boot up. Speed has increased but not to my expectations. At least the reliability of a solid state drive is an important gain.

No problems so far, have had it up and running about 4 months. My system consist of 95 watt processor, dvd drive, and network card. Power supply seems ok, but a little noisy.

Not a thing, I love mine! Fastest boot-up I've ever seen and so far works flawlessly.

This drive is compatible with all sata 3 and 2 motherboards. As for performance, I see increases in boot times and a few other most commonly used applications such as internet explorer and mail programs. Boot went from 3 minutes to about 50 seconds to log in screen. I have a lot of stuff loading so it takes a while after login before everything loads. Only 8 gig of ssd so you have to figure how big your programs are in memory. more than that, I would recommend a real SSD, but it costs for this kind of storage space.

it has win 7 Starter, and you can (I did) upgrade to win 7 home premium. it takes it about an hour, so do it plugged in. MSFT has a program you can d/l and run that will tell you if the hardware is OK to upgrade. I ran it and it said everything was good to upgrade. Even tho I upgraded the ram to 2GB it's still very slow. I can't imaging using it for anything productive. Just a portable PC for when you really need one that's nice and small.

Nope, no problems--running Win 7 ultimate and also Win 7 pro and all runs smoothly as advertised. Try clean install. Good luck

Its a dual core, i7, 1.9GHZ/3.0GHZ, with 256gb ssd. No hard drive. It is plenty fast and has all the storage I'll need. Up and running in under 10 sec.

I haven't noticed it to be slow or laggy at all. I'm not a power gamer or anything, so if you are that might be different. I've had 6 windows working at a time, and noticed no problems.

To me, personally, it works amazing. It's fast, startup is immediate, and the speed is the fastest I've ever had. For 800 (not counting monitor), it's the best. I did upgrade the video card, but that was just for me, the one that comes with it doesn't disappoint.

I cannot speak to speed mismatch, but I can speak to not booting. It took me several tries to get my d620 booted. I had to re-seat the memory twice and then mess with the setting in the bios to get the machine to boot. Once I got it booted it has worked well ever since. most memory can run at lower speeds, another problem I had was it would only see one stick, again the re seating and setting the bios fixed my issue

No. It is one of the quietest computers I've come across. But (there;s always a but) at this time it will not do a restart (requires a shutdown) if there is a USB drive connected. It will hang. I have been told there is a BIOS update coming by the end of March to address this. Other than that it's been an excellent computer.

There is nothing wrong with the unit. It is brand new. I had one person complain about the the processor speed said it mentioned 2.8ghz the processorbis 1.7 but operates at 2.8 through turbo boost. basically it goes up to that speed when you're using the computer in a way that in demands that type of processing speed from it not at all times. Aside from that the other 20 customers have not complained about anything on the units.
