Not too shabby for an aging gaming rig from 2007 or so.
EDIT: It is a multiboot PC though, and it works like this:
*Starts*
Then a GRUB thing appears, I have to scroll down to "Windows 7 (Loader)" And select that.
Then I get the boot manager for Windows, obviously I select Windows 7 and then it boots.
Then there's the password.
9 letters long, I can only type it so fast.
But to be honest these are all just excuses, my PC is not good. :P

Mine is a older off lease Dell Optiplex GX620 running Win7 Ultimate. Made no changes other than upping the ram from 2.0GB to 4.0GB and installing a nVidia GeForce 9500 GT. I also password protect my system (Keeps the wife's niece's and nephews off) so I had to enter my password.

laptops for some reason are easier to tweak for a quick boot than high end gaming systems. I'm still tweaking the overclock for the desktop in my specs but it won't be anywhere near as fast on restarts as this Dell... maybe low 30's at best if I wipe the HDD's, and reinstall to a small partition, leaving the rest of the HDDs unformattted

Yeah, my laptop posts almost immediately, but my desktop with my SSD takes longer to post than to start Windows. But once the boxes are up and running, my desktop kicks the ever loving crap out of my laptop. So, I just try not be obsessed with the reboot time. It is what it is...and I don't honestly reboot very often at all.
