defrag maybe?^

I posted on one of the first pages of this thread when it was first started but I have since sold that computer and my Apple is actually faster :D Dual 1GHz 1.5gb of ram running OSX 10.3.9 from when I push the start button to when it is on 12 seconds! :woot: Speed baby :wub: My poor mini is slow though :/ takes about 30 seconds

12-14 seconds

:huh: my bios probably take around 8 seconds, my pc probably takes around 40 seconds to fully boot:

apps running on boot:

Mcafee Virusscan Pro + Personal Firewall

Steam..

UltraMon

Windows Media Connect

DuMeter

Msn Live Messenger.

Creative DLL's and Volume Panel

Around 300mb usage on boot.

I'm confused. What do you guys mean by "boot time"? Because some of the times are REALLY low, and I have a feeling that different people mean different things with boot time. I have a fairly modern system, and it takes a good 45-50 seconds from pressing the power button until Windows is fully loaded and ready to go. I'm curious how some people are booting in 15 seconds and such.

I mean, I defrag, I've used TuneXP, my computer is clean of malware, unneeded services and such are all disabled... All of which help, but not NEARLY enough to bring my boot time down to 10-15 seconds. Could the fast boot times be hardware related? What hardware makes for faster booting? What hardware slows booting down?

no they are just talking out of there arses.

u cant get a system with a few start-up apps loading in 15 seconds, the BIOS takes that at least, windows takes a good 5 seconds on a fresh install with 1 user, no way can u be pushing 15 seconds.

Mine on a clean nLited and optimised installed of Windows .net Server 2003 (yes I am running the Beta 3 build. It is better than RTM :p)

BIOS : 14seconds (disabled floppy / cd / dvd booting checks)

Windows : 4seconds (literally. Bootscreen and logon notifications disabled)
