i wasnt alive when comodore 64 came out.

Or Windows 95.

yay i was alive for windows 95! but when i was born windows 95 was 4 months old.

Given the SSD, you do not need much tweaking. I installed W7 on a 60GB OCZ Vertex SSD inside a box with an AMD 4800+ CPU - really no barnstormer. My boot time was 10 seconds. If you keep your SSD nicely trimmed, you will see marvels with W7. Calling up a program is faster than I can lift the finger from the mouse.
But W7 boots fast anyhow. On another system I run W7 in a vBox virtual partition. Boot time there is 33 seconds. My Vista host system (with a very big 60GB footprint though) needs 100 seconds.

woah

I have a comb I bought in '92.

I am currently booting 130 seconds. Five "drives" the BIOS sees, USB flash reader partially populated, two RAID controllers, JMicron init, (10 HDDs total) a boot menu @ 3 seconds. Whatever it is that Windows is doing.

When you don't know the past, you tend to repeat all the mistakes of the past.

Even today, the sound chip of the C-64 has not been duplicated.
The Commodore Amiga was used to compile all the music for the "Miami Vise" TV program. There was a lot of really neat stuff going on in those early days of home computing.
A young friend of mine, ran a Computer Bulletin Board (early version of a web site) on his C-64, with a 300 baud modem. That was pretty aggressive for a 14 yr old boy.

Everything today is so automated that it takes all the fun out of computing.
