I'm just wondering how long it take your computer from pushing the power button to the login screen. Mine takes 35 seconds. Intel Celeron 2.0Ghz, 768mb PC2100 ram, Maxtor 80gb 7200 rpm 6Y080LO
Slow as s***. But that's probably because it has 5 HDDs in it. And I can live with it taking a while to boot as that means I have more storage than almost anyone.
Counting to windows splash screen was 18 and then into windows was 24. Will do a proper timing later.
I guess around 35 seconds to login screen, would be faster if my BIOS didn't try to detect IDE drives, which is a bit of a waste of time as I only have a DVDRW on IDE lol Will time it properly later, too much stuff open at the moment to reboot and time it
I made a tutorial on how to improve your start up time by a few seconds on my log site if anyone is interested, check out the link: http://modlog.error-404.net/?p=18
48 seconds, because I do not overclock in the BIOS sas my board does not allow it so I looks out on an extra 400Mhz, and all that IDE drive searchin crap + VMI Data pool updates n all that
my laptop is 42 seconds. Count from when you push the powerbutton to when you get to the login / welcome screen or to when your background loads. Laptop: Freescale PowerPC G4 1.67Ghz 2x512 PC2700 RAM Fujitsu 5,400 rpm 80gb 2.5"
My laptop takes 30 secs to get to logon. From there onwards it takes near 2 mins to be stable to use (have a lot of background services that run for my home network. (Will get moved over to file server when its built ))
15-20 seconds not including POST, more like 30 from pressing the button. 3-4 seconds from a suspend. i do have this strange boot pattern ~ 1 in 100 starts. it will just sit there for 2 mins seemingly lifeless only to shoot back to activity. it's rare enough not to be a bother but something’s happening i don't understand. only another 300gig to top me then not that i'm showing off or anything.
