Windam Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) 25 sexonds this is on a dell 5150 with a clean install with all drivers loaded. 1) never create two partitions on a disk(especially on a notebook), this causes a big slowdown(experiences may vary) 2) don't use the bundled software w/ crap OEM disk, it will have apps that you won't use 3) defragmentation is important 4) do not run antivirus software (if you want a less resources av app go with NOD32) 5) do not run a firewall use a router(hardware firewall) instead 6) Make sure your room is well ventilated and cool 7)disable services that you won't use lets say on a desktop wireless zero config for those who are on wired lan 8) Buy some ram like 2GB or so 9) disable startup apps you don't use 10) disable quicktime and itunes help startup Edited June 27, 2006 by Windam Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/10/#findComment-587644869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

inactiveaccount Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 my fastest time is 7 seconds back in the good old days of Windows 3.1. I just disabled all the drivers (who needs em, anyway?), and disabled HIMEM. 4 seconds from flipping on the power switch to program manager. :D On a more modern note, when I installed Windows 3.1 onto my new dell computer (since i was going to restore my comp later on anyway), I was at the windows desktop just after the bios screen went away, at a mind boggling 4 seconds. :D :D Currently, I have XP with all startup items disabled except AIM, MSN, and sound manager, and it takes 1 minute.

PyX Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 My fastest boot time's got to be on my iMac Intel with both Windows and Mac OS X... and it's about 30 seconds or so. It's strange that my PC has better hardware and doesn't boot that fast eh? Mine loads in about 45 seconds and just the first BIOS screens last about 15 seconds, so for this reason I believe nobody who says below 30 secs. 15 seconds with a password.................. you're a good joker man :p I actually get 1 min 30 after a month.

ToneKnee Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 One time i got it under 7 seconds to get into Windows, i disabled lots of options in the BIOS, Overclocked the CPU, used Boot up tweaking programs, disabled services i don't used and some other stuff. Shame i can't do that on my current desktop! :( As for what i have now, takes around 90 seconds because i have a roaming profile and stuff.

Blazkowicz Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 fast, I don't bother chronometering it. I previously had windows 98SE on that PC (XP2400+) and it was around twice as fast, shutdown being instant. so the best and simplest advice I can give for a very fast booting is, use windows 98 :D (and I had modified MSDOS.SYS for no showing windows logo on boot) with a modern NT 5.x windows, on a single user PC, I do these things, which don't make boot faster in itself but more lean : use classic logon, auto-logon (with tweakUI), and in gpedit.msc : Computer configuration / Administrative Templates / "Remove boot-log off etc. messages" set to enabled.

Chadwick Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 cant remember the last time i booted my mac from being off, a reboot once in awhile but those were due to upgrades which lengthen the boot time sometimes. Usually open the screen and am ready to go in a few seconds, rarely more than 5.

Chit Chat Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 WOW 27 seconds is amazing. Mine must take all of 5 minutes to load up with anti-virus software, etc etc. I would appreciate it if anyone could post some tips and tricks for clearing my computer of all of the rubbish, and allowing it to boot up quicker. Are there any quick tests which I can do to highlight areas which need fixing?

NoneAvail Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 around 2 minutes, when i press the power button this is the process 2secs: dell logo 1mini sec: blank screen 20secs: xp loading screen the moving left to right 1sec: to click on username 1min and some secs: start up items, like msn, aim, logitech webcam & mouse thingy, konfabutlator, webroot spy sweeper, quciktime. i dont know why it takes so long for simple apps, but it's alright since the sucker is used once in a while, and i always hibriate it so it wont take as long anymore Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/10/#findComment-587761991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
