I know I've already mentioned I'm impressed with the speed of the system, but it really is worlds better on the Workbench in 4.1 than it was in 3.9 on this machine. Everything seems nice and snappy.
Boot time is a bit on the long side, but I've heard it mentioned that this can be tuned a bit.
The first boot this evening took 1min 41secs. This is a pretty old 40gig HD, so its probably not one of the fastest ones. Connected to the A1200 IDE port via Jen's 3way buffered interface (not IDEFix).
I've gotta work on getting Poseidon working now so that I can get online and download some apps to play with, there's not alot included in the install. (File managers, and Internet apps mostly).
Here's a pic of what comes in the package.
Ok that would explain some things then, the internal IDE-port is not fast at all. What other options are there? FastATA if you want to use a PATA controller and SATA offcourse. I think I would invest in something to speed up the harddrive. On my a4k I got a FastATA that made a big difference but it doesn't support DMA. In practise it doesn't make that much of a difference though and it's still way better than the internal port.
