What is your total boot time?



Here's what we're benchmarking:
1. What Operating System are you using? (Windows/Mac/Linux/32-bit/64-bit)
2. Is your computer homebuilt?
3. Is it a laptop or a desktop?
4. What is your hard drive setup? (SSD/HDD/RAID/RPM/Connection Type)
5. How good is your computer? (Low/Medium/High/Ultimate)
6. Total time from power button pushed to stable desktop.

On the other hand, there's my other machine, which is a P4 POS that takes close to 10 minutes to boot properly and get done with all teh churning. I really should reinstall the OS, but that disc got lost in a move and I'll be damned if I'm paying for a new copy for that machine.

I never really clocked all of them since I have so many. There is on the internal HDD I have Win7 Pro 64-bit and Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. Then on the 2.5" external HDD I have Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit and Fedora 12 32-bit. I can take that one with me and boot them on other people computers.

However, my wife's laptop (Dual core, no C2D) takes a good 3-4 minutes... her dad's laptop... geez, turn it on and go to work when you come home it might be ready. But he's the type of guy that has EVERY program ever made load @ startup
