Did you guys actually time your load times to come up with a 5-10 second load time? I haven't but I'm pretty sure when zoning normally i think my little sh*tty laptop zones at about 5 seconds max everywhere i've zoned so far. i don't run anything with my EQ other then my Avast and background things. Sometimes i even go as far as to close the dwm.exe that is just a useless process to be running in the first place. my task manager doesn't have any more then 7 processes (8 when eqgame.exe is running). This lappy cost me 230 bucks after taxes, 3 years ago. AMD radeon with integrated graphics and a processor speed of only 1.7 Ghz. If this little sh*t box loads this quick then you guys should have no problems at all. My latency also stays around the 60-80 mark so that makes a difference. My hdd is also not how it was when purchased. It has been formatted more then once and im running windows 7 ultimate.
One piece of advice I will give that will benefit you in every way on your comp if you don't do it already - open up your task manager and look-up and learn what every proccess running is/does and get rid of all the extra shit in there. open start - type "msconfig" go into startup tab and unckeck what doesnt need to start with windows.
If you didn't or don't do that yet it should make a difference. you sound like you know what you are doing Xerical but this basic comp clean-up stuff can make huge differences. If you are not on a custom rig and have all the extra junk that they pump into store bought comps then get rid of ALL OF IT. (best buy this, best buy that, samsung, sony, toshiba, BLAH BLAH BLAH.) remove all that junk and only keep your video card settings program, cpu related stuff, and antivirus. anything else can be dumped unless you prefer other things.
