Have you reformatted the HDD since your new mobo / gotten a new drive? If you havn't already .. do that and your problems might be fixed.

Take out the Audigy and uninstall drivers, if your sandra / windows boot up at faster times ... try to reinstall the drivers on the soundcard when you have made your conclusion.

Update: Fresh install with no PCI cards and C-media Intel audio caused same problem. I have a feeling, like my old computer, the overclocking must have something to do with it, but I use Sandra so rarely that I can't be bothered to start messing around with stable settings.

I did'nt experience any lag with my P5P800, Audigy, XFX 6600GT, and Sandra. Same for the AS8. Not sure why this seems so common, wonder if it's perhaps a chipset driver issue? What version of the driver are you running?
Let me add my 2 cp here 
2.8C on a IC7-MAX3: Sandra05 opens in a few secs. I "upgraded" to a 3.2E CO a year ago and Sandra05 took noticably longer to open, maybe 20-30secs. Now I have the setup in sig and sandra05 still takes 20-30secs to open. I think it has something to do with preshots personally. The IC7-MAX3 rig has stock audio and sandra05 still took a little bit to open up with the 3.2E in it. Tests take little longer to complete also but the scores are right on par with the norm. The 2.8C is back in my alt rig now as I got sick of 63C load temps watercooled with the CO

just out of curiousity, does anyone that have that long lag use a floppy drive? I've noticed that each time I open Sandra (took around 8 seconds), it probed for a floppy drive.

I have a floppy drive, but on both my systems Sandra takes a minute or more to load:
System 1: Abit Bd7-Raid, [email protected], 1Gb of Ram, Ti4200 AGP
System 2: Asus P5AD2E-delux, P4 531J [email protected], 1Gb of OCZ DDR2, XFX 6600GT PCI-E.
Common parts: Audigy, ATI TV Wonder Pro, FX5200 PCI.
Same issue on both machines.

Well, I've finially linked it to my hard drives. I currently have 5 HDs and 2 Roms connected, one of which is SATA. I will fiddle some more to figure it out. Removing all cards and using default didn't fix it, but pulling all but one of the drives did.
