lieb39 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 SO does no one using 2003 with active directory & DNS want to post?20 secs mine using winXP SP2 584603605[/snapback] Well considering that 2003 is a server, people won't generally twaek the bootime. But for my 2003 server with DNS, AD, IIS, Exchange server, plus a bit more it takes about five minutes from the time i turn the thing on until its on the network (i don't have a screen on the server) but I never restart it... My XP machine is about a minute to startup.. slow, but I don't care. I never restart it unless something is majorly wrong. -lieb39 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/5/#findComment-584871574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I know Norton apps take a long time to load, but even without it. My computer takes 40 seconds from when I push the button to when it gets into windows. Then another 25 seconds to load windows. It only takes around 5 seconds in the BIOS though, so I don't know... I have XP SP2 installed, most people say this does not help. My PC shuts down fast though. It takes about 10 seconds (it used to take 40 seconds) to shut down the whole thing.

Xe|oN Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well my Dual P3 933 with Windows Server 2003 takes like 5 minutes to boot up. Damn all those services! :p Not like bootup times matter anyway. I mean I probably only boot up my machines a few times a year because they are always on anyway.

crossfire Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Mine takes about 1 minute, from the time I push the button to start the computer and the time windows is fully operational.How the hell do you guys get 20 seconds? I mean, I have a high-end desktop system, yet I get one minute to start it. My system is : Athlon XP 3000+, ATI Radeon 9800 PRO, 512 MB RAM, Motherboard A7N8X-X, nForce2 chipset, 200 GB hard drive, about 2 USB devices. I have Norton antivirus 2005, catalyst 4.10 w/ control panel and some other drivers. Is there any way I could get a 30 seconds boot time with this? :unsure: Or do you guys even shut down the PC, or you use the hibernate mode or whatever it is called? (I remember using it like 1 time in my life! lol) 584868495[/snapback] When the windows screen shows up i count 7seconds.. (before it was 30seconds, when i had Norton Antivirus 2005 installed) Norton is sooo slow and so ****** up, everyone thinks it's the best, but it's definitely NOT (same thing with McAfee)... get yourself NOD32 (antivirus suite) and see how your system performs then ;) you won't be dissapointed! And run TuneXP (ULTRA FAST BOOT tweak) :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/5/#findComment-585084087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
