13 seconds from powered off to booted up ready to go. Samsung NC10 running Arch. Desktop is a whole other deal. 5 minutes+ easily.

2+ minutes

Comfortably.

[QUOTE=FlashStock;20992846]Yoda runs his harddrives in raid0.[/QUOTE] I do too, the actual booting process takes only around 20 second-ish, minus the stage during POST where the RAID Controller BootROM scans for the drives and RAID array consistency. Windows 7 used to take at least a minute when running on a single hard drive.

Takes about a minute for me, but before I reformatted, it would freeze up when it started and take about 10-15 minutes to start.

under a minute

[QUOTE=Larikang;20992349]Now that I don't get. That's a 400% difference and their specs are almost identical.[/QUOTE] x2 550 isn't anywhere near as powerful as i5. And those RAID drives and faster RAM really make a difference.

7 seconds :smug: SSD FTW

19 seconds on a 7 year old hdd mech. YEAH BIATCHES.

5 seconds.

11seconds Sempron 1.7ghz Socket 939 896mb DDR Ram 80GB IDE HDD :geno:

I find it hard to believe how some of you have such a fast boot up time.. i mean yeah you maybe might be able to get 20 secs on a ssd with a fresh install but come on 7 secs -_-'

22 sec Win 7 64-bit Phenom II X4 965 3,8GHz 8GB DDR3 1666MHz 500gb 7200 rpm Seagate.

Around 1 minute and more. Freaking BIOS takes about 15 seconds and Full-Disc-Encryption makes the boot slow (where many small files are required which drops the data-rate significantly with FDE).

Wait, isn't there a vbs script to time this already? Also: [B]26[/B] Seconds Edit: USB Init takes 8 seconds -.-
