it is normal on some machines depending on the computer.

How old is it?  did it just start.

shouldnt be a problem  if it slows during xp boot.  but if it just start it could be a warning of hardware failure.

gm jamietoner,

Thank you for you time!  I eneded up calling dell back, and got somebody a tad more seasoned.. He, inturn,  suspects the motherboard and is sendng out a tech to replace f.o.c.   :)           Again, thanks for dialog.

poly.
You're welcome.
Did the motherboard resolve the issue?
Nevermind.  A BIOS update from revision A08 to A17 resolved the issue for me.
