How much time does your PC take to boot?

[Mave]

From starting the 'on' button.

Now it doesn't mean that just because it boots up fast, it's a good PC.

But still, post your boot-up time here.

Mine takes about 30 seconds.

 

[[FF]TeddyBear]

About 3 Minutes.

Actually it does. The better your hardware the faster it starts up.

 

[Johny_Doe]

Mine takes about 1 minute

 

[Mauri]

30 seconds to 1 minute. Not 100% sure.

 

[Panki]

1.30 min.

That's not true, if you have an uber PC, but you want that loads of programs instantly load, well it's gonna cost you some seconds.

About +/- 34 seconds. Not bad imo :-X

Do you think a Pentium 3 2.2GHz would do a better job at loading 10 programs than a quad core Intel Core i7 which clocks 3.4GHz time-wise? Think again, the difference is significant. Of course it will cost some extra time but we're talking about booting here, not startup program load time.

My point is that the better your hardware, the faster your booting and startup program starting time. How isn't that true?

I just tested my older computer and it was faster, and it is like three times badder that this one.

 

[Mave]

^ That's fast !
I'm jealous

 

[Nitronic]

30secs-1:30

 

[GPow69]

About a minute or so, And for some reason ever since I LOST some RAM, It's been faster from when it signs into my account to when I can use it without it going slowly.

About 2/3 mins or so, i should count the time sometime and update you

EDIT: 1 minute, 39 seconds, 31 miliseconds, there's also a 3 second pause when it shows which hard drives are connected, i forgot to press esc to skip that part

 

[shiznit]

[GPow69]

Old PC took 12 min XD

Oh dayum that would suck. How long does it take for the old one to shut down?

A few milliseconds. Just remove the power source.

 

[GPow69]

I meant shut down safely >.<

 

[Maffia171]

My old PC takes around 35 seconds.

I'll get the time of this PC today.
