HD speed and Ram makes boot faster somewhat.

Takes me about 1min15seconds to boot, that's slow, but it's because i have dual boot, and a Raid drive to boot also.

Take about 45seconds to boot on my secondary 1.3t-Bird with 256MB of Crucial.

With no/RAID, its at the XP Pro boot screen before my monitor even turns on. From power button to login screen, I'd guess 20-30 seconds. With RAID, it takes 3x that, as the array detection is horribly slow.
