I have installed FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 on an Intel DG965WH mainboard with 6 GB RAM , 500GB Seagate HDD . When GNOME or KDE is used , their start times are very long as spanning many minutes , and opening of menus in applications such as Firefox , Dolphin , and their other programs are taking many minutes to just open the menu . Clicking any item , is also waiting many minutes to be activated . In that structure , it is not possible to use those desktop environments . After that , I have installed FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE i386 on the same computer . The same actions are performed instantly . After that , I have installed PC-BSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 . It is just like FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 : Extremely slow . On FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 , I have installed FluxBox . Its menus and their items are executed very fast . When a Gnome or KDE ( Dolphin , Ark , K3B ) program is executed from FluxBox , their menus are again very slow , whereas Firefox , Midnight Commander executions are very fast . This case is just related to FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 . The other 64-bit operating systems are working very well . I have tested memory chips : There is no any error . I have used another 500 GB Seagate HDD : Effects are the same . I could neither be able to understand why this is happening , nor find a cure to this problem . Thank you very much .
