I've just timed the time it takes to start up Garry's Mod on my Alienware ALX X58 Computer, (one of the best computers available) and it took 12:47 (give or take a few seconds) to load up to the Main Menu.
I then joined a multiplayer game, and i got stuck on Retreiving info or whatever, and that took about 7 minutes. And then it crashed on Sending Client info.
Does this happen to everybody else? It definately isn't my computer, because my hard drive has an incredibly high data transfer rate, i have an overclocked intel core i7 processor, and on a computer this spec, it shouldn't happen.
The only addons i have are PHX3 and Wire. (It's a new computer, so i had to do a fresh install, so that's all i have)
Does this happen to anyone else?
You trust your computer too much.

And most likely paid to much too :P . Alienware is nothing but HP with a "cool" name.

i was gonna say that but a trollish admin might have banned me :P
weird, I have Wire, PHX, Space build, SBEP, Stargate, and dozens more addons and maps (most of which I don't use), and my load time [booting up GMod, and the load time for a game. excluding picking a map (that varies on whether or not I know what map I want to play)] is about 5-6 minutes.
(hint hint 4:30-5 minutes of that is the game load time).
I got a Dimension E520, Intel Core Duo, I'm running Window's Vista, and I named my computer Bessy (very, very long story)!
So no, not every one has this problem.
(sorry for sounding like an ass here, I just love seeing peoples "uber" computers fail at something when my average computer can handle it fine)
What we have here is a waste of money.
EDIT: BTW have fun with your gateway with a cool case

That often means they aren't taking care of their computer.
Clean it of dust physically, defragment the hard drive, run a disc cleanup, etc.
mine loads in a min and i have a lot of crap on my gmod and its a windows xp pc
may it be because you have a virus or too much stuff on gmod?
My GMod needs approximately 15 seconds to load and 50 seconds to start a map with a few addons installed (with no addons, loading a map takes 20 seconds). - All on sandbox.
This is still quite too long on my eyes, compared to e.g. HL2:DM.
On Fretta servers, I join in less than 10 seconds. (Seems like Sandbox is just overloaded).
But in multiplayer, some servers take up to 3 minutes for me to connect. Mostly those, which have Wire or other "server-cancer" installed.
i have a pretty decent dual core computer and it can take a few minutes for me to join a server. starting gmod doesnt take too long but ive found that starting a singleplayer game surprisingly takes longer than joining an online server
i too, think its just part of gmod, because i can start up TF2 and join a server on that WAYYYY faster.
You used Alienware and Best in the same sentence
