The ASRock Instant Boot is for their desktop boards being a software enhancement/overlay while the Phoenix Quick Boot is the bios programming encoded onto the eprom chip there.

It's not exactly the same thing, but if you have one of the supported Asrock mobo's - you may want to give it a try.

What I'm looking at there is the Quick Boot being applied for laptop application where anything that can extend the battery lfe time by reducing demand for power and time as well when first turning in on will be the largest potential gain for portable users.
Eventually for desktops don't be surprized to see the OS desktop appear in only a few seconds as hardwares in general see advancements there as well.
"gosh I just installed 7 on my old 10tb SSD drive the size of a memory card and loads in about 2 seconds!"

At the rate techology is progressing soon you will be able to carry your entire desktop around with you wherever you can plug it in instead of a laptop simply due to the trend for smaller and smaller! Imagine a solar powered desktop not much larger then your present solar powered scientific calculator!
I have an Asrock Ion 330 with instant boot, but i dont use it Dont know why actually
Instant boot would shave off some time, but you know once you have antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and other apps all loaded up on windows you are still going to have to wait for all that other crap.
