I expect the 6100 takes longer than the 6500 - they're quite a bit newer and faster aren't they? I was just saying that it's on the timescale of minutes though! Although even my PC seems to take that long these days and that's a fast machine - all the more reason to have a nice fresh installation very soon, with Vista of course
