Computer boot times.

[MadModder]

What is your standard boot time, from POST Screen to and idle Windows desktop, just curious, mine is 9-10 seconds.

about 80 seconds from cold to usability, I have quite a bit in my startup folder and this is a celery 433.

 

[lowcar100]

about 5-10 minutes lol

 

[Ctcoyote16]

around 1 to 2 minutes on startup
like almost instantly on whatever you're trying to say

that doesnt seem right... thats usually the time it takes for the windows loading screen to come and go, not from Post to my desktop.

I have an unusualy long boot process, but at least I've got the cool lanparty logo on the boot screen

9-10 secs doesn't seem right to me either, even a fully loaded FX-57 machine with "the works" takes longer than 10 seconds. Simply loading Windows is a slow process, and past a certain point you cannot speed it up no matter how fast your HDD's are or how fast ur system overall is.

Awww damn! I was waiting for this page to load and trying to guess when the first RAID/Raptor fanboy would show up... didnt expect first post

About a minute and a half.

But you can get programs that speed up the boot sequence.

How do you start the computer?

It's really hard to do isn't it?! Especially when you don't have a computer.

My comp boots up in about 40-60 seconds.

Well on this ancient artifact of a PC, a few minutes.

 

[smadge]

considering a RAM harddrive with all out specs still takes 30 seconds from startup to useability I kinda doubt you. Yes, its a harddrive that uses regular RAm modules as storage.

 

[kyllc]

30-40 secs

From the second I pressed the power button, my lappy took just under 50 seconds to get to windows. Realize I have it underclocked to 800MHz, though I don't know when that actually kicks in...

My desktop takes about 35 seconds, and I think much of that is from ZoneAlarm...
