Dimension 8100: Found an item called "Fast Boot" under the BIOS setup program, and the default was disabled. I enabled it, still don't notice much difference. Anyone have a clue what it is?
Enable the "fast boot" and disable the default. Basically what you have done is that your 'puter bypasses all of the slower and time consuming error checks, device checks, etc. Probably not a problem on newer machines, unless you start to get memory or device error problems, etc. I've used it for some time with no problems, and my 'puter DOES boot faster...(until it gets to the Windows screen, of course, Thanks Bill..) Good Luck..
