ASE - Performance Issue/Monitoring (Solman-BW)

Hi experts,
we already had it a few times. And now again... I think it is coming from Solman integrated BW.
We are using this for Technical Monitoring.
Today we had again a big performance impact.
In my opinion it is coming because data-serveris running on 100%.
I don't know where I can see this, therefore my 1st question is, is there any command in ISQL (like top) which gives me ASE-Performance?
So that I can see resource-bottlenecks?
The CPU of data server is always around 399%, but host is having 8 CPUs.
So I think ASE is at the moment limited to 4 CPUs.
Maybe someone can give me the parameter, which I have to check for this.
I have now stopped Calculation Engine of technical monitoring and everything is running fine now.
If I start it everything is going down again and CPU back to 399%

Christian,
But keep this noted these results are just the baseline information. Please find the traditional definition of this command:
Adaptive Server keeps track of how much work it has done in a series of global variables.
sp_monitor displays the current values of these global variables and how much they have changed since the last time the procedure executed.
For each column, the statistic appears in the form number(number)-number% or number(number).
The first number refers to the number of seconds (for cpu_busy, io_busy, and idle) or the total number (for the other columns) since Adaptive Server restarted.
The number in parentheses refers to the number of seconds or the total number since the last time sp_monitor was run. The percent sign indicates the percentage of time sincesp_monitor was last run.
May be take out a sp_sysmon report and analyse that give lots and lots of information.

  • MacBook Pro performance issues w/2nd monitor and FCP7

    I have this MacBook Pro bought brand-new in January 2010:
      Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz

    and until today had never attached a second monitor to it. Today I hooked up my Samsung 24" to do some dual screen editing in Final Cut 7.0.3. I was unable to play back my video at full speed in the second monitor, and after a few seconds of skippy playback I'd get that error message about unable to play back video at full speed and to check my RT settings. I was using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. My computer has no issues playing the video in the laptop's monitor at any resolution and any quality settings (I've never changed the RT settings or anything else in the menu ever but I tried every combination this time). I then tried using my TV as a 2nd monitor with an HDMI adapter. Same performance issues. I then tried my friend's newer 13" MBP 8,1 and it performed flawlessly with the same project & footage. I feel like my $3,000 computer should outperform a $1,200 one even if mine is a year and a half older. Any advice?

    Wow, you posted this perfectly to coincide with an identical problem, albeit using Logic Pro 9.1.5 rather than FCP.
    Last week, I purchased a 23" external monitor to use alongside my "flagship" 2011 15" hi-res, 2.3 i7 Macbook Pro with 8Gb of RAM.
    It is connected via a mini-DVI to D-sub analog (not that that should matter?) and all appeared fine.
    The first issue I had was with my MBP's fan now running CONSTANTLY, when I have the second monitor attached. Even when the machine is completely idle.
    When using the machine to record audio, this is a fairly hefty problem and not something I had anticipated - indeed why would I anticipate such a thing?
    What is far, far worse though is that over the last few days I have had repeated problems with performance drop-outs and errors in Logic and I have trying to fathom out why. Realising that the only major system change made, was the above monitor connection, I ran some tests.
    I restarted my MBP, no other apps were running and with my new 23" monitor attached acting as main display with MBP built in display on as secondary
    I loaded up a fairly demanding Logic project which was hitting 40% to 60% CPU usage when using the built in MBP display last week
    I ran activity monitor and had CPU usage history open
    The above project now repeatedly overloads and playback halts in a given 8 bar section - with CPU at 80% most of the time
    I disconnected the external display, no shut down, I just let the machine switch to the built in 15".
    Started the same project, the same 8 bar section and hey presto - CPU usage back down to 40% to 60%
    The above was reflected in the CPU usage history with the graph showing CPU use down by about a half, when running this Logic project WITHOUT the external display.
    There is a very useful benchmark Logic project that has been used as a test by many users to gauge Logic performance on given Apple hardware.
    The project has about 100 tracks pre-configured with CPU intensive plugins, designed to tax the CPU.
    The idea is that you load up the project with tracks muted, press play and then unmute the tracks steadily until Logic us unable to play contiunously because of a system performance error.
    On my MBP, with the external monitor NOT attached, I can play back around 50 of the audio tracks in this benchmark project.
    With the monitor attached, I can get about 22 tracks playing.... which is actually a far worse a performance drop (-50% I think!?) than with the first example!
    I did also try with just the external monitor attached and not the MBP display and performance was about 10% better than with dual monitors - so still extremely poor, to say the least.
    This machine is the flagship MBP and has a dedicated AMD Radeon HD6750 GPU which should take care of most if not ALL graphics processing - I mean it's capable of running some pretty demanding games!
    Putting aside the issue of constant fan noise, there is no reason AT ALL, why using an external monitor should tax the i7 CPU this way - it's not as though Logic is graphically demanding... far from it.
    I am on 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5, all apps up to date via "Software Update".
    I will of course, be contacting Apple...

  • Performance issue entering monitor etc

    Dear Sirs,
    Our system currently feels quite slow. When entering the monitor for a load, or managing a cube the system it takes a while.
    In SM50 I can see it reads at table  (sequential) på RSMONIPTAB (which contains 1 millions records).
    SAP help.sap.com describes a process u201CArchivation of Request Administration Datau201D, which might help? Look below. However, I do not like the paragraph marked in bold. What kind of features do they reference to.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/ead8d7b55e1bd2e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm  
    Archiving request administration data allows you to store the administration and log information for a request in an archive. In BI, tables store the totals records that the system requires so that the request is not set to red because information is missing. This function allows you to limit the size of the administration and log tables, RSDONE und RSMON. This improves performance for actions performed for the request and in the affected InfoProviders and saves memory space in the database without affecting the status set by the system.
    For certain functions and processes that access requests, you have to reload request administration data to the BI administration and log tables.
    Any hints on the issue in general; performance issue with monitor, please let me know.
    Best regards,
    Jørgen

    Guess note below describes gives more info about situation. However, not with a clear solution :=)
    SAP Note 694895 - Performance and tables RSMON, RSDONE
    Note Language: English Version: 5 Validity: Valid Since 29.11.2005
    Summary
    Symptom
    Tables RSMON* (for example, table RSMONMESS) and tables RS*DONE (for
    example, table RSSELDONE) continuously increase in size in the BW system
    with each request that is created.
    Currently there is no option to reduce these tables.
    Do not delete any entries from these tables. If you did, this would have
    the following consequences:
    When you carry out the next check for the requests for which you have
    deleted records from these tables, the check will not run properly.
    The status of the relevant requests turns RED in the monitor, and also in
    all affected data targets that contain the request.
    The affected request and all subsequent requests are no longer visible in
    the reporting - all queries on the affected data targets then only display
    old data.
    Numerous dumps will occur in various situations.
    You will not be able to repair the errors caused by the deletion.
    More Terms
    RSMONMESS; RSSELDONE; Performance; RSMON; RSDONE;
    Cause and Prerequisites
    This is caused by a program error.
    Solution
    In the next BW release (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s - that is BW 7.0), you
    will be able to archive entries from the RSMON* and RS*DONE tables using a
    request archiving process that archives the administrative information for
    requests.
    After archiving, these tables are then considerably reduced in size.
    Until then, there is unfortunately no option for reducing the tables.

  • Port monitoring performance issues

    We have 3500Xl series switches and some are running port monitoring so we can gather data on what kind of traffic is flowing through our network. The question is if 1 ethernet port is monitoring all the other ethernet ports on it, what kind of performance issues could we expect, if any. Is there a way to show the performance stats of the switch as well. For example, see below.

    Hi,
    I noticed you are attempting this on a 3500XL switch.I'll attach a useful reference to some constraints with SPAN on XL
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008015c612.shtml#topic1
    These older switches use a blocking, shared memory architecture and shared buffers for groups of 4 ports. One performance condition that is possible in this type of scenario is intermittent packet loss within the group of ports when traffic is high. This condition becomes probable when utilisation of ports start exceeding about 70% of bandwidth simultaneously on all ports. The symptom is intermittent because of the nature of  traffic is typically bursty
    Example:
    Monitor port is 48.
    Servers are 45,46,47 -100MB
    Let's say a backup is run on the servers and all servers start to hit 70% of available bandwidth. If port is monitoring, then this is = 3 x 70MB = 210MB which exceeds monitor port.
    Monitor port would see overruns drops etc
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/switches/ps607/products_tech_note09186a0080125913.shtml#troubleshoot_interface_errors
    but the server ports could intermittently start dropping traffic because of available buffer taken up by monitor port. There's no real way to determine at what rate this will happen but something to keep an eye out for. You may isolate the monitor port to it's own group of 4.

  • Performance issue within SAP Solution Manager

    We use SAP Solution Manager 4.0, SPS 13 for System Monitoring of almost 100 systems.
    We configured SOLMAN as CEN system and activated the CCMSPING with –push option.
    For almost the 2/3 of the systems we configured SAPCCM4X agents.
    Our current problem is a performance issue in tcode DSWP. When we try to enter into one of the solutions there (by pressing on it) we get the following warning:
    Determining warning messages from CCMS
    It tooks a while and then it is possible to access  the desired solution.
    My important question is of course:
    How can this issue be solved?
    Is there some techniques to analyse and change the problem
    How can I check whether the SOLMAN works in a pull or push mode, when the data from the satellite systems will be collected and how can this be changed?
    As I know there are two ways of sending/retrieving the data:
    via RFC (pull)
    via CCMS (push)
    Which method is faster?
    Is there some changes in CCMSPING possible? (interval for sending/retrieving the data)?
    Is there some other settings, e.g. like profle parameters (e.g. rdisp/...) that could be performed to solve the problem?
    Thank you very much for any helpful information
    Regards
    Thom

    Push is beter for performance. SAP advice.
    Maybe activating Central Data Cache on the CEN and SolMan with parameter alert/cache/size_MB can help.

  • Report performance Issue in BI Answers

    Hi All,
    We have a performance issues with reports. Report is running more than 10 mins. we took query from the session log and ran it in database, at that time it took not more than 2 mins. We have verified proper indexes on the where clause columns.
    Could any once suggest to improve the performance in BI answers?
    Thanks in advance,

    I hope you dont have many case statements and complex calculations that you do in the Answers.
    Next thing you need to monitor is how many rows of data that you are trying to retrieve from the query. If the volume is huge then it takes time to do the formatting on the Answers as you are going to dump huge volumes of data. Database(like teradata) returns initially like 1-2000 records if you hit show all records then even db is gonna fair amount of time if you are dumping many records
    hope it helps
    thanks

  • Performance issues with flashed 7800GT (G5)

    Hey,
    I recently flashed a PC 7800GT with the 128K OEM NVidia ROM. It's one of the cards with a physical 128K ROM chip, so no worries there. However, it doesn't deliver the performance I expected. I have a Late 2005 2.0 DC, 10GB DDR2 and use Leopard 10.5.8.
    This is what OS X puts out (german):
    NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT:
      Chipsatz-Modell:    GeForce 7800GT
      Typ:    Monitor
      Bus:    PCIe
      Steckplatz:    SLOT-1
      PCIe-Lane-Breite:    x16
      VRAM (gesamt):    256 MB
      Hersteller:    NVIDIA (0x10de)
      Geräte-ID:    0x0092
      Versions-ID:    0x00a1
      ROM-Version:    2152.2
    Performance issues are: I can't seem to reach frame rates that are anywhere near the results provided by barefeats. Quake 3 runs with approx 200fps in 1600x1200x32 (I expected 300+ fps), Quake 4 and UT2004 run okay, but not on high settings with high resolutions. So, not equivalent to what you wouldd expect from the system's specs) Same goes for Colin McRae Rallye. Now, I remember reading about performance issues in 10.5.8 with the flashed ROM since it doesn't seem to be a 1:1 copy of the original one. I didn't try it in Tiger since I don't exactly want to go back from Leopard. Am I right that this is probably an issue of the "OEM ROM" (from the macelite)? Does anyone have the real deal in terms of 7800GT ROMs and could provide me with a link?
    Br

    Hi-
    If you send me an email via my website, I can send you a couple of ROMs that might work better.
    http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/All_Things_PPC.html
    Problem with the flashed 256 MB GT, though, is that Leopard runs slow.
    Bad driver interaction.....
    The 512 MB GTX is the way to go........

  • Performance issues with Motion (position, scale, rotate) and GTX 590

    I'm experiencing performance issues with my Premiere Pro CC when I scale, position or rotate a clip in the program monitor.
    I have no performance issues with playback! It's only, when i move something with the mouse or by changing the x,y-values of Position in the Motion-Dialog in video effects.
    Premiere then lags terribly and updates the program monitor only about once per second - this makes it very difficult and cumbersome to work and position things.
    On a second Premiere installation on my laptop, performance is fine and fluid - allthough it doesn't have GPU support and is a much slower computer.
    I'm pretty sure this has somehow to do with my graphic card, which is a Nvidia GTX 590.
    I was told by the support, that it is actually a dual graphic card, which is not supported/liked by Premiere.
    The thing is, until the latest Premiere update, I did not have performance issues at all with this card.
    I also read on the forum that others with the GTX 590 did not experience any problems with it
    So where does this come from?
    There is no change in performance whether or not I activate Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
    I also tried deactivating one of the 2 gpus, but there also was no change.
    Does anyone else know this problem and has anyone a solution?
    I'm running Premiere CC on a Win 7 64bit engine, Nvidia GTX 590, latest driver (of today),

    I am suffering from the same phenomenon since I updated just before christmas, I think.
    I am hardly able to do scaling, rotating and translating in the program monitor itslef - whil motion has been highlighted in teh effect controls.
    In the effect controls I can scale, rotate etc however.
    Also I have noticed there is a yellow box with handles in teh program monitor. I remember it was white before.
    I cannot figure out what to change in my preferences. What has happened?
    best,

  • Performance issue in DB need help with analysing this ADDM report

    Hi,
    My environment:
    Os: RHEL5U3 / 11.1.0.7 64 bit / R12.1.1 64 bit
    Issue:
    Few days are am facing serious of performance problem in our Production instance. Normally the issue will occur 5 to 10 minutes occasionally per day. At the time of issue we not able to access the EBS application its taking time to load. But backend all the oracle, listener and apps services are up and running. No locks at table and session level. Cpu and memory usage is normal.
    We have monitored using "Enterprise Manager" for this issue and we found the wait session present more in Active session tab. At this time EBS application is not able access its loading too time. After some time the in Active session tab the wait session came normal and when we try to access the EBS application its working fine.
    We try to find the cause of the issue by running addm report. But am not able to understand what its says. Kindly suggests me

  • How should I report forum performance issues?

    The forums rely heavily on the caching features of browsers to improve the speed of page rendering. Performance of these forums should greatly improve after a few pages because more and more of the images, css and javascript is cached in the browser. As a consequence, when reporting forums performance issues the report should include some information on the state of the browser cache to determine whether the issue is a browser issue or a server issue. Such detailed information is generally not available from just watching the browser screen, but needs to come from specialized tools such as performance monitor plugins and recording proxies.
    The preferred report method for performance issues is to use the speed reporting features build into or available as a plugin for a browser for both the page you want to report a problem with and several refence pages in the site. Detailed instructions are listed below separated out for different browsers. If possible, please use Firefox for submitting the report because it provides an export format that can be read back electronically.
    Known performance issues
    The performance issues with any screen with a Rich Text Editor, such as the Reply window and the compose Private Message window have been acknowleged and improvements are being implemented.
    Mozilla Firefox (preferred)
    Warning: it is currently not recommended to generate a speed report when logged in. The speed report has enough detail for somebody else to hijack your session and impersonate you on the forums. If you really must report while logged in, make sure you log out your browser after generating the speed report and wait at least 4 hours before posting.

    When you report a performance problem please attach the 6 exports from the Firebug Net panel and an explanation of how you are experiencing the issues (for instance how much slower it is then normal) and include a description of your internet connection (dial-up, dsl, cable etc.) and the country from where you are connecting. If you have non-standard tweaks to your Firefox configuration (such as pipelining enabled) or are running any plugins please include that information in your report as well.

    Since Google Chrome does not have an export format for the Resource Tracking information best current practice is to take a screenshot and note the hover details for any resource with a tail that is longer then 25% of the total load time. When you report a performance problem please attach the screenshots and an explanation of how you are experiencing the issues (for instance how much slower it is then normal)  and include a description of your internet connection (dial-up, dsl, cable etc.) and the country from where you are connecting.
    Apple Safari
    The Apple Safari Web Inspector has a Resources panel similar to the Resources panel in the Google Chrome developer tools.To get there, follow these steps:
    Show the menu bar.
    Go to preferences
    Go to the Advanced Tab
    Check “Show  Develop menu in menu bar”.
    From the Develop menu select “Show Web  Inspector”. 
    Collecting the performance information and exporting works exactly the same as in Google Chrome. Please refer to the instructions for Google Chrome.
    Microsoft Internet Explorer
    IE does not have native features to analyze web traffic. No plugins have been found that produce the required information (please let us know if we missed any). For now, please reproduce the issue with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
    Please note that due to the reliance on Javascript for the interactive effects the performance of these forums will be much better on MS IE 8 then on previous versions of MS IE.

  • BW  Performance issue

    Hi,
          We have done reorge for four tablespaces PSAPBTABI, PSAPBTABD, PSAPODSD, PSAPODSI  in our BW System 7.0. And we have created new tablespaces for above our tablespaces like PSAPODSINEW for all the above tablespaces and made the old tablespaces as offline. After doing this activity we are facing lot of performance problems.
    For e.g while our BW guys are running one report for the portal it is executing but after a long time like after 2+ hours the page goes empty. The report is CL_SQL_RESULT_SET=============CP, not only this report but lot of reports. We have done statistics update for the tables that report uses using BRCONNECT and also rebuild the indexex for all the tables. But still no luck.

    Hi,
    For the BASIS related performance issues :
    1. This is mostly DBA related : Keeping an eye on the DB space to monitor the growth of the database and look at space available and needed to prevent shutting down the BW server.
    2. Making sure that backups don't consume a lot of time to interfere with daily operations.
    3. Doing load balancing
    4. Making sure IDocs are flowing freely.
    5. Making sure that shared drives and servers don't overshoot the capacity.
    6. Patching servers and server instances to improve performance.
    The BW consultants can monitor the the space , etc using tcode DB02. The DBAs have their own tools to monitor these parameters.
    Cheers,
    Kedar

  • Performance issues since upgrade

    I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and am having severs performance issues since upgrading to Mavericks. I fear my issues may be related to company installed anti-virus (which I cannot remove), but I was hoping someone could look over my EtreCheck for other potential solutions.
    One really odd issue I am having, which I cannot seem to find good information for on Google, is at least 4-5 times a day my Mac just stops. No beach ball, no anything, for about 1-5 minutes. Then it's fine. Maybe just me grasping at straws, but it seems related to a when webpage loads a bunch of images? I always use Safari btw, but testing other browsers, like Chrome & Firefox, it happens as well.
    I have also removed TotalFinder and have noticed no improvement and still have the above issue.
    Thanks in advance!
    Here is my EtreCheck:

    Best regards,

    Are you sure that it is not an application constraint ? i.e. the application can't handle so much data per second ? (application locks, threads )
    Have you tried to write a simple test program, which inserts predefined data (which your application inserts) the same data, only changing keys ?
    Then comparing the values from the 1st and the 2nd configuration ?
    Did you check the way your application is communicating with oracle ? If it is TCP/ip (even on the local machine) then this is your main problem.
    And one more thing, do you know if your application is able to run the load (inserts) of data on different threads (i.e. in parallel), because if is not, you won't be able to push the speed higher because your constraint is the speed of a single CPU. Consider running several process, which loads the data.
    We had the same problem ot AIX machines with 4 cpus. Monitoring the machine, we found that only 25% (1 cpu) where in use. We had to run 4 processes to push the speed up. Check your system's overal load while running the 'load' (inserts).
    log_checkpoint_interval = 10000
    Check if this value is appropriate. Maybe you should set it to 0 (infinite). This will disable checkpoints on a 'number of undo record' basis. Checpoints will occure only on log switch.
    How much redo files per redo groups do you have ? What is their size ? Are they on different disks ? How much redo data is generated by a single 'record' inserted ?
    Hope i helped at least a little.

         There we have it, I think that that is all you need to know to perhaps give opinions and advice. Allow me to elaborate on why I am posting today after browsing this wonderful forum for the last two weeks. (...and by the way, my hat's off to some of you knowledgeable regulars for helping out a lot of newbies and folks in trouble!) Without further adieu:
    Problem #1: POWER ISSUE
    When, or if, I remove AC Power from my PC for whatever reason I run into a problem in which after reconnecting the AC Power and attempting to turn on the computer it goes into a 3-5 second startup loop in which the PC does not post, but rather cycles power to all of the components indefinitely. I notice the LEDs on my optical drives cycling repeatedly ad infinitum until I power off using the 4-second hold method, and then press the power button again. At this point the PC boots up fine, and boots up fine going forward from all restarts and shut downs. How strange? I've never, EVER, encountered something like this before.
    Problem #2: PERFORMANCE ISSUE
    This PC has a handful of serious performace issues.
    3dMark03 scored horribly.
    Prime95 runs ridiculously slow although there are no erros! It runs much more quickly on my work PC which is a PIII 866mhz with 384MB of PC133 RAM.
    I receive, on no regular frequency, or while doing anything in particular, Explorer memory errors. Not BSOD's mind you, but "...blah blah blah referenced memory address xxxxx-xxxxx and could not be written". This causes Explorer to restart itself, blowing away the start menu, task bar, and any Explorer windows open. They reappear, of course, without incident.
    The most off performance issue of all is that when opening an Explorer window for either of my IDE HDs, designated D and E drives, I find that when using the highlighting rectangle tool the Explorer window freezes or lags. I can double-click and open or move/copy files without incident, but if I attempt to highlight by this method this halt or lag occurs.
    Also, since my update of the BIOS from 1.2 to 1.7, and then to 1.8 system startup times prior to Windows loading are HORRID. I have disabled just about everything, and yet the SATA BIOS loads for 5 seconds, and then I must wait 20 seconds for Windows itself to come to the login screen. No other BIOS related issues to report per se, but this is terrible for what should be a blazingly fast computer.
    Now let's see.. what have I tried to do to repair the issues?
    1) 2 BIOS flashes. First from 1.2->1.7, and then from 1.7->1.8. Ostensibly this was just "because". The power user need to have the latest! I noticed the incorrect CPU temperature being reported, however.. This led to me buying this massive ThermalTake HSF to replace my stocker. I also added more thermal goop than I ever have before, as well as a PCI slot fan before I became aware that it was a BIOS issue! GRRRR MSI.
    2) I thought perhaps for the one issue that one of the hard drives was an issue, and even perhaps for power, but I replaced each with new drives and tested all 4 on another PC. NO problems. Also I should perhaps mention that my IDE drives are all hooked up using Antec Cobra cables. Expensive yes, but why the hell not, right? I've never seen a hang-off grounding wire for IDE before. Decided not to use them as I could think of a great place to screw them in, nor have other PC using them had trouble skipping the ground wire.
    3) I unplugged every molex cable, the 4-pin CPU power, and the 20-pin ATX power and rerranged them all - as well as removed and then reinserted the RAM.
    4) I tried changing my memory timings and power management settings, etc in BIOS. Nothing seem to impact the issue. I didn't fiddle with the voltages, but I should not need to running the RAM at SPD or lower settings and without overclocking the system at all!
    5) Another issue that I had that seems to have vanished, come back, vanished, and then come back a "little bit" is my USB ports. When set to enable legacy devices in BIOS my USB items like my Logitech wireless keyboard would just cycle power and refuse to function. Also my UPS connected VIA USB seems to sometimes handshake with Windows and sometimes not. I've tried using all of the different ports, etc but the problem remains. I NEED 6 ports for my devices so it is all that I could do!
    6) I have an Enermax 550w EG651P-VE(FMA) with 36 amps on each voltage rail on it's way, and it should arrive tomorrow. Despite all of the crap regarding power supplies that I see on this board I am not confident that it's the problem. That Antec PSU should be able to hold it's on with 20 amps on the +12v channel. C'mon now. I build a nearly identical system with the same power supply for a customer and he has no problems at all. He also has 3 HDs, same motherboard, etc.. the only difference is he has but one optical drive and a 2800+ rather than a 3200+. That power difference should be decimal nature in amps needed.
    ...oh and the sound card is in PCI slot 3, for those that remember the glory days of sound card IRQ issues that Creative was once notorious for... oh, and I disable the ethernet boot device, etc so my slow startups should not be related. My serial ATA drive is also on connection 1 of the VIA controller.. Promise can kiss my a**.
    Soooo.. Show me what a n00b I am, oh great ones. I've built over 100 PCs since 1998 for myself, friends, families, and customers... and I've never seen an issue like this one! I'm no dummy, but please don't assume too much. Other pros on here know full well you can forget the most simple mundane detail in spite of experience! I want to solve this problem. I am on the verge of shelling out for a new motherboard and processor of the 939 pin variety.. and am now wary of MSI's long awaited socket 939 K8 Neo2 board despite it's awesome reviews. MSI has never really given me trouble before.. but I don't really want to spend money to the order of $200+ for that damned Gigabyte board. Gigabyte has always been good to me as well. Save my wallet! PLEASE!!!
    Thanks so much everyone, I tried very hard not to leave out any details!

    The startup problem might just be a screwy psu. Your antec *should* be able to power your stuff just fine, but maybe it is defective in some strange way.
    What is your 3dmark03 score? If it is 3000-4000, (approx perf. level of ati 9600xt), then it is fine.
    Check your memory using memtest86+, and try underclocking it to ddr333.
    UNplug usb devices, and see if it speeds up boot. Also, I would not recommend bios 1.8 since people seem to have some troubles with it.
    Also, try disabling agp fast writes, disabling spread spectrum, and maybe boosting ram voltage a tiny bit.
    Try booting without your audigy plugged in, and try booting barebones (nothing but 1 hard drive with os) and see what happens.
    I'm no expert, but you might get lucky trying these steps.
