Slow importing from Hard Drive

[George]

I believe I'd look to the processor as a possibility.

Reason I say that is because there are some very good processors out there not made by Intel that, due to patents held by Intel, are forced to rely on the operating system to perform many of the functions peformed within the Intel processors.

In some circumstances, this can lead to poor performance, or even pc failure.
I had five crashes in as many months a couple of years ago. My techs kept blaming me, and finally I took the pc to a different shop. The tech there took one look and said the probem was the AMD processor, jerked it out, installed an Intel, and problem solved.

He explained what I stated above as the reason, saying it was the luck of the draw.

Been watching this from the first post, and been wondering right along if perhaps this were one of those isolated cases.

I'm not a tech, and could be out there in the daisies on this one for even mentioning this, but it seems nothing else has produced any relults.
