In one of THGs videos.
thg_video_10_athlon64.avi They test out some CPUs and I saw one computer boot up entitled Windows XP 64 edition running for 2/3 seconds then the computer boots up and everything comes on (icons, start menu) in about one fraction of a second! Should I expect this too? http://www17.tomshardware.com/site/d...mit.html?id=10 |

I just took a look at the link you posted to that video.... i'l think you'll find that the boot sequence was nearly finished when they cut to it.
i think we're all gonna have to wait for a few years to boot up that quickly

It's all great booting up that fast. However, do we really NEED all that? I doubt it. As long as we have decent performance...the extra few seconds will not hurt.

Doable I guess but you'll need to have the system in suspend mode and using a solidstate drive
I'd also argue that login was post-capture sped up to keep with the music.

Download the video (rather than stream it)

http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,121105,00.asp You already know this thread: Fast Solution for Home PC's ![]() But, do you think the video is sped up? I mean, the Samsung memory drive I posted takes about 3 seconds to complete everything. Good point, perhaps they did a capture and speed up the video.
