COMPUTER LOAD TIMES...

[Valkerie]

From the time you hit your computer's power button to the time you put in your password and wait for all the program startups to finish loading, in which you can freely execute the software you want to run without any slow down.

30-45 seconds. depending on how fast i type my password.

My game machine boots very fast. I have a stripped down Windows XP SP2 with no antivirus and no extra applications, just games. It's probably about 20 seconds.

<15 seconds for my rigs which will be folding.

 

[Amplifier]

About 3 seconds on my Apple. 15-20 seconds on my PC.

 

[Ricemarine]

A little over 2 minutes...

I got antivirus, MSN, AIM, etc.... heh...

Its worth the wait if you get an extra 226 GB of space

[ruffilb]

It takes FEWER than 35 seconds

 

[Epic Fail]

5+ minutes, I boot the computer then walk away then come back later to enter the password.

I remember timing my old AXP at 33 seconds and my new rig is much faster, so probably < 30 s. From password to desktop, it's like 5 s.
