Hello Everyone,

Thanks to sidney1st we have a great way to measure the ReBoot-Time (restart time) for our systems.

You can see how to here: How to See What Your Boot Up Time is in Vista

Here's my ReBoot-Time:


Running Processes: 41
Started Services: 36
Automatic logon


Please post your times as well,

Shawn Brink

Hello sidney1st,

I did mine with no problems; used copy/paste to do the whole thing!
Mine includes a secure Ctrl+Alt+Dlt Logon.
And it looks like I'm the first to post after Brink...



Thanks Shawn for adding the sticky!

LOL,

Looks like I have some more tweaking to do.

That's the result my old Inspiron 9300 is giving, i can't do better for this one.
Shawn, did you stop automatic boot defrag? I think it can give you few seconds.

Hi Sid,

Yeah, I disabled all that stuff. I haven't had time to really dig into the BIOS from this new motherboard to learn all of it's new feature vs my old one's yet.

Plus, I need to dig through the services and processes some more to do a little trimming.

Interesting...



I have yet to tweak or modify this system yet, It has all the programs you would ever use installed.

Im surprised without tweaking I get about the same startup time as the more powerful computers.

Here are the specs for the computer I just ran it on...

Pentium D 3ghz (dual-core)
2GB DDR2-533 RAM
XFX 8500GT NVidia
120GB SATA HDD
Vista Ultimate X86

Hello all,

This has a lot to do with it doesn't it?



Here are my specs.

Athlon 64 x2 6000+
4 1GB DDR2 RAM in dual (cheap)
NVIDIA 512MB 9600GT
500GB 7200RPM WD
Running Processes: 50
Started Services: 62
Secure logon.

From a cold start I am on a working desktop in less than 60 seconds!
