XP Bootup

[Richard]

After using Windows 98 and having that boot up in a couple
of minutes, why does it take XP a good five minutes to get
to the log-in screen?
I've also installed new graphics and sound cards, but they
were working OK with Windows 98. Is this a general
problem, or can some of the setting be changed?

Cheers

Richard

How can anyone know how to fix with so little detail??
Windows XP boots in about 10 secs (athlon XP 3300+, 512MB).
