Start up speed

How long does it take your computer/laptop to start up?


My PC laptop: 1 - 3 minutes!!!
Macbook: 5 - 10 seconds


Yours?

 

you should have added an "under 30 seconds" option , my pc boot in 27 Secondes, but i have at least 5 tweaks and boosters installed.

 

it should not take more than 1 minute to start! i think there is some problem with your laptop, if you run on windows xp, i can perhaps help you to start your computer faster!

 

under a minute ... this thing right here is fast fast fast

 

My desktop starts in about 45-60 seconds I guess. As for my very old Acer Travelmate I'm still waiting after turning it on sometime last month.

 

I am running on XP But after everything appears.. I kind of have to wait before anything opens... this laptop is only 1 year old and a few months..

 

Under 1 minute.

Windows XP loads up a lot of crap that you probably don't need. Take a look at what Services to disable that will help speed things up. Take note though, disabling the wrong thing can really screw things up.

 

5-10 seconds??? holy speed of light!

When I first got my LT, maybe 52-58 seconds...now it takes WELL over a minute, maybe more like years

now what are we talking here? from the moment you press the power button until you see the desktop OR what I consider to be more accurate, the point at which the CPU/HD stops spinning and you can actually start doing something

 

do a few things,
first of all, go to run ==> type in msconfig, and go to the start up tab, and remove a few things you don't want to start automatically!! this will help!

then, go to run and type ==> cmd, in the command prompt, type "sfc /scannow" and give the windows xp cd! and let the process finish, this will increase your start up time slightly! cheers!

 

Mine is a bit slow now and starts in around 1 minute and 5 seconds but with proper tweaks installed it boots in 27 - 32 seconds.

 

I already have a prog that helps me remove unnecessary apps from starting and all that but I have no idea as far as MS services go

AND (I assume) like many of the poor souls here, I never got a friggin' CD, XP came pre-loaded...is it going to know where to look if I don't have the CD

 

Mine takes about 1 - 1.5 minutes to startup.

 

I think I'm somewhere between 1-2 minutes. I don't shut down often, so I haven't noticed.

 

go find a stop watch, run a time trial...we'll wait

 

Well, not more than a minute I guess...I'd never checked..

 

My iBook boots up much faster than my PC.

 

Under 1 minute because I hibernate my laptop.

 

used to take 30 seconds before I installed this new MAC TIGER OSX Transformation Pack for Windows XP
now it take 1-1.5 minute to start but the Looks rocks

 

Who voted 3-5 minutes? I wouldn't have the patience for that.
