Make sure to time it from as soon as you press the power button to the time windows is completely done loading everything.

Gigabyte 7ZX-1
Western Digital 20gb HD
Elsa Gladiac 511 GeForce mx400

It is really cool! I even have a nic (3-5 seconds extra), and I have a bunch of programs loading with windows. I have ATI's util, Norton Antivirus 2001, RAIN, Logitech Mouse properties, Power Strip, and Logitech Wingman Profiler!

I think my DDR memory, mobo, and HD are mostly the reason for the fast boot up http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif My other PC takes well over a minute. Although I did once have it down to 32 seconds. But it barely had anything running then.
