POLL!! How Fast Does Your Computer Boot up???

[FatAlbo]

I have no splash screen since I disabled it. 😉
From power-on to the Win98SE desktop, it takes about 30 seconds.

Celeron 566@850 on ASUS S370 slotket
ASUS P3V4X
128MB RAM
WD 20.5 GB
Kenwood True-X 52X
Acer 2x2x10 CD-RW
Voodoo5 5500 AGP
SB Live! Value

System:

FIC VA-503+ 1MB w/Apollo MVP3 chipset
Defective floppy drive
AMD K6-2/350 @ 412.5MHz
96MB PC66 10ns SDRAM
10x Pioneer CD-ROM drive
SB16 ISA sound card
DLink DFE-538TX PCI network card
Banshee PCI video card
3COM internal ISA 'DSP' 56K modem
20.5GB Quantum LM (7200rpm, 2MB, 8.5ms)

Win98 (first edition) boot time is around 20 seconds, Win2K boot time around 30 seconds. BeOS takes longer, because my floppy is defective and it tries to read it alot (it booted about as fast as 98 before, though).

Who cares about boot time though ... WinME would boot in a couple seconds, but it still sucks complete and utter ass.

I never turn my system off, so I guess that my boot-up time is 0. 🙂

Seriously though, I would guess about a minute. It would be faster, but always takes forever for my plextors to be detected by my SCSI card. Here are my specs:

P3-819
256MB RAM
Win2K Pro
Adaptec AAA-131U2 SCSI RAID with 32MB cache
2X Seagate Cheetah X15 18GB 15,000rpm in RAID-0
