I got 117 Seconds.

117 seconds? Holy cow! That's like almost 2 minutes; 1.95 minutes to be exact.

We don't all have beasts contained inside a shiny box.. Lol. This is just a bragging thread anyway. By the way Jasin, there's a space in your profile to enter system information (link), you maybe want to fill it in? I'm curious to see what machine you're running there.. Must be a nice one.

Nice... Looks like a pretty solid setup. Little bit more RAM and a nice GPU and you'll have a pretty sweet computer.

With AHCI enabled, regardless of my first boot device, it always checks for media in my SATA DVD-RW, which takes about 4 to 5 seconds.

That's only due to the fact that 'boot priority' will be reset to defaults (#1: optical drive; #2: HDD) when you enable AHCI, so you just have to remove your Disc Drive from the boot devices list.

EDIT: And YES, threads of the type "What's your..." and "Show us your..." are bragging threads to a certain extend BUT envy serves as a great motive to optimize your system to gain those 2% of extra performance that separate your system to the one of Person X with the higher scores!

PS: Good thing I'm not a big fan of Freudian psycho-analysis because then one had to argue that it all comes down to "What's /Show us... [the size of your weener]!
EDIT2: ...which leads us to an entirely new interpretation of the acronym WEI!

That makes sense... Not that it bugs me, but I'll end up trying to tonight when I get home just to see. Thanks.

Lmao... Let's not go down that road today.

Not bad for a fairly basic system

It is pretty fast for my laptop

I'll have to check my box sometime with AHCI on and my boot order. It's possible that my box too is scanning my DVD as well thus adding seconds to the boot time.

I believe it is the same for me since I have my DVD drive as the first boot option

Well, tried that over the weekend... But no matter what I try (short of disconnecting my DVD-RW) my BIOS adds the DVD drive into the boot list every time anyway. Slightly irritating since my PC won't start up if there is a non-bootable disk in my drive, but I never leave any disks in my PC anyway.
