Turn off the startup memory tests- hold down command & option keys while opening memory control panel. Then you will see the option at the bottom. While you're there make sure virtual memory is off. Also turn off any extensions you dont really need, like network-related if you dont use it on a network. And rebuild your desktop. I think 2 min is about normal for startup if you do these things- 3 is a little long. NickUtah
