The new computer I'm getting is also a laptop. The one I was using earlier had the i7 2860QM, two 240GB Intel 520 SSD's and 12GB RAM at 1600MHz. I had to send it back due to SSD performance issues. This replacement should be pretty killer though.
I agree about the bios post time. My computer use to have a 23 second restart time, until I bought a new motherboard. Now the best time I can get is 42 seconds. All the same components, just a different motherboard. This must be the slowest post I've ever had. But, it runs pretty good.
Yea, the BIOS post time is very fast on my pc. It is faster when it restarts, than when it is cold booted because the bios waits for the hard drives to spin up. The Bios post from cold boot is about 14 seconds.
Nice times!
I'm still getting killed by my bios time. I've updated the BIOS to the most current on ASUS's site. Still sitting at 86 seconds. I'd say at least 40 seconds of this time is waiting for the MOBO to do it's thing.
