Matermine Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Officially 3:46 for me :) Yes, thats 3 Minutes and 46 seconds... I already have 45 seconds when the windows xp loading screen finishes... Then the most of it comes from desktop lag....My network connections are what take so long, but even after they are loaded, it takes around 45 seconds to load the rest of it. What makes your computer run better? (faster) i seem to have lag all the time...like opening notepad after being idle for about 3 hours takes around a minute...

Unto Darkness Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 My Windows XP Home Edition takes 6 seconds to boot consistently! Beat that! :D From Cold boot to a usable desktop, according to Bootvis, it takes 17.17 seconds [inculding entering of password].

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted March 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2008 from when i push the button till the computer is completely loaded it takes on average 8 seconds however if you count signing into pidgin it depends on the network speed.

iZoom Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I call BS. I'd love to see a video of that and then I will retract my statement, otherwise it stands. Even my meager laptop with nothing on it more than maybe a few progs like Firefox and iTunes still takes 20 seconds to boot. Desktop is around 35 seconds or so and I have no 3rd party apps loading and disable some services that I don't want to start either. A thread like this should require or suggest posting a video to actually prove the statement, otherwise this is just hokey.

KeeperOfThePizza Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 the speed of how fast your computer starts clearly does not dictate the quality of an operating system! i'd rather my computer take 2 minutes to boot and run stable.

betasp Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Are you counting POST time or not? If not, I have a Novell machine that boots to DOS in about 1.5 seconds after POST.

Aquafox Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 about 15-20 seconds in vista...:) no pw...so from cold boot to usable desktop...after green catapillar, pc speeds through vista orb animation, fades into "logging in" page and into desktop (fully loaded, no hdd activity) in about 4 secs... this is on a C2D E6300, 1GB DDRII667, 775dual-VSTA, 2x SATA HDDs, 1x IDE...

iZoom Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Now aquafox, I wonder how that can be...since each part of my rig is just step up from yours. Not saying mine is better overall, but the hardware would suggest an improvement. E6400 vs E6300, 2GB DDRII800 vs DDRII667, 680i, 2x SATA HDD's as well...so why the difference in speed by 10+- seconds? Also, as someone just said, I would rather have a longer boot time to guarantee safety checks and so on than lightning fast bootup.

beanboy89 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I can't remember the exact boot time, but I remember I could boot Server 2003 x64 in ~45 seconds on my Athlon 64 X2 3800+ with 1 GB RAM. It was about a year and a half ago, so I can't remember for sure.

Gamerhomie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I just checked. 1 minute, 28 seconds on my laptop. This is timed from the moment I press the power button to the second IE is able to load up Google. Getting to the desktop takes about 1 minute and 5 seconds. Vista x86 Home Premium Servce Pack 1. I reformatted about a week ago and have maybe 2 or 3 programs running on startup. I always wondered, what determines how long a computer boots up? And how could I try to get it down. Even cutting it in half would be nice... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/13/#findComment-589301030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Record boot time was from Windows ME, under 20 seconds with a fast pc. And who said new o/s' were going to improve boot times? Im glad that wasn't one of Vista's claims!!!
