Hi everyone, I am the owner of a brand new tx2z touchsmart and I'm glad I came across you guys on this forum =)

I had a few questions about the general performance of this laptop because I have a 2-year old HP Pavillion Desktop with almost identical specs to this laptop, and my 2 year-old computer is noticably faster than the tx2z.  I have the 64-bit version of Vista, and it takes about 1 minute and 45 seconds to boot up to the welcome screen on a fresh restart, and it takes well over 2 minutes to boot from hibernation.  Is this similar to how long it takes to boot for everyone else's tx2s?

Also, out of all things to not work correctly, I am having issues watching streaming flash video- namely youtube.  I am having an issue where every 3-5 seconds the video freezes up but the sound continues to play uneffected by the visual stuttering.  None of the system resources are too taxed when this happens; if I only have firefox open, a youtube video will bring the CPU usage to about 60% from the baseline of ~10%.  The only reason why I'm asking about this here was because I've watched youtube videos off of some pretty bare-bones computer setups, and never had a visual hiccup problem like this... something as simple as a flash player should run flawlessly on a shiny new computer, right?.

Any input on either of these two issues is greatly appriciated.  Thanks in advance!
