Moved the Kingston SSD from the desktop to my new ultra portable laptop and it feels really fast now. Even though the desktop PC now has a faster SSD (Vertex 2), the laptop boots a good 20 seconds faster because the slow POST and RAID controller initialization crap of the Gigabyte board.

New hardware build - still tweeking software/drivers. Does anyone know what endpoints the measurement uses...is it from the time you click OK to the time your computer restarts and password is accepted or from the time your restart commences to the time the password dialog is displayed or what?
It's from shut down to useable desktop.
For more info click on the links on the first two posts in this thread.
I can finally be proud of my reboots!
