AMD 770 (highest i could overclock without bothering to find a pencil) thunderbird, 256, geforce2mx, sb live!, generic nic, tv tuner, win 2k server. Takes 69 seconds to get to the log on from the time I press the power buttin. Takes about 15 after that. Other system is 310mhz pentium mmx (overclocked!) w/redhat 6.2, takes 34 seconds from power button to login in x. Laptop, 486, 4mb ram, dos 6.2, takes only 10 seconds from buttin to booted all the way...perhapse if i got a 286, then it would take less time...

Running W2K server SP1 With Active Directory, DNS, Wins, DHCP server & IIS 5..
Total boot to Desktop = 3 min & 23 sec.
(no errors Hah!)
Running my own Active Directory domain at home.. pretty cool huh... even running *********** and had Exchange 2000 running for a while (had to check it out).
Oh and BTW its active Directory which slows down my systems boot. When I had Plain ol' Win2K Pro installed it would boot in about 40 sec's or so.

Not that it matters since I run it 24/7, but with the SCSI card with 7 devices and the RAID to detect the arrays, it takes almost 3 minutes. Thats W2K.

unless you live in games with really long load times ( like Voyager Elite Force etc.)
RAID 0 isn't all its cracked up to be.

I read someplace that it is Bill gates who wants the computer of the future to always be on power save, but press a key and in less then a second you are up and running.
but as someone said, it is interesting how even though SCSI and other high tech stuff is newest it does take the longest to start up.... oh yea sorry it was after all Bill Gates who said thats what the computer would be like < i recall billy also said windows was the best performance gaming platform too-HA >
NDC, Thats one of those long SCSI initialization deals huh
lol, i bet the speed you get from that rig makes up for the slow start.
I also read someplace that if you run windows its good to restart atleast windows itself even 24 hours or so, to get a clean start, does going on power save in 98 and 2k do that? <won't even ask about that monstrosity "ME" >
