ReBoot Time

Not bad, a lot of programs start up with mine so i'm happy with 88 secs

On my machine, 7 always starts slower than Vista.

Its different on my case, oddly enough vista really loads THAT slow on my hardware. i had to wait for 1:15 seconds to get a fully usable desktop with Win7 i estimate its under 40seconds, its dramatically faster!

So, is this the actual-system time, or the best you can do?

I have loads of hardware, mapped drives, USB-attached drives that need to spin up, etc. I assume it's the latter, since minus the BIOS POST (from the OS load menu to desktop) I get 12 seconds if I dismount attached and network drives (almost clean OS). As-is, I load in about 30 seconds and shut down in about 5 or so. (SSDs in RAID0)

However, I lose some 30 seconds in BIOS POST since I have two RAIDs. Also, due to memory overclock, sometimes the machine needs to power cycle to get the DIMMS to actually work.

Not bad since i had to enter my password too.
