Thenasty:

starting from the flick of the switch to the front end menu.
It took my machine 15 seconds.

Who's got the fastest boot up time here ? Wanna share the secrets ? :)

SpamMe:

About 45 seconds :/ (Winxp pro SP1, mamewah as the shell, all unnecessary services off, BIOS set to not scan for drives). Not sure what's taking so long.

I keep it in standby most of the time though, so it takes about 4 seconds to start.

Thenasty:

maybe I'll setup ,my MOBO not to scan for drives. Maybe that will take off another second or 2.

barranger:

I remember hearing that if you have a network connection and it's set to get a dynamic IP (the default) it can slow down boot time

Apollo:

About 25 seconds for me WinXP. I keep my PC in standby so yeah about 5 seconds really.
