I have just recently built a computer for my cousin. The specs are as follows:

AMD Athlon 4800+ 64 X2 Dual Core w/ stock heatsink (64+64 L1 cache, 1mb+1mb L2 cache)
1gig PNY PC3200
Foxxconn SLI MB
evga nVidia 7900gs
250gig WD SATA
Aspire X-Cruiser Black case
Aspire 500watt power supply

The problem is that, when installing the Battlefield 2 update from ver. 1.1 - 1.4, a computer with the following specs:

AMD Athlon 3600+ 64 single core w/ stock heatsink (64+64 L1 cache, 512 L2 cache)
1gig gSkill PC3200
Gigabyte MB
evga 6600gt
160gig Seagate Ultra ATA
Powmax case
AGI 450watt power supply

:had a load time of approx. 5 minutes faster than the first system. What I am wondering, is, why a computer with a single core and non-SATA beat one with them when both installs were started at the same exact time?
