This could be slower for a number of reasons.

Maybe needing driver updates.Clean out old files.How much free disk space you have.What programs you are running.

It also depends on the other hardware you have fitted in each computer.

Firstly did you install fresh drivers for this computer hardware you just fitted?3

Go to device manager and update drivers.
