    How speedy are these 1ghz VIA setups?

    What is a typical boot time when running a stripped down WinXP off a laptop 5400rpm HD?

    The biggest hurdle is the laptop drive.

    My dad is running a 20gb drive (not sure whether it's 5400 or 4200rpm) and it takes about 50 seconds from cold boot, to playing music.

    Mine, with a 40gb 7200rpm drive, is about 35-40 seconds.


    However, use Hibernate, or Standby, and a good power supply to enable you to do this, and your start up times can be < 10 seconds

    I do it twice a day with mine, haven't had any problems yet, except sometimes the mouse goes screwy. A reboot fixes that.

    There are several varieties of the EPIA M, one of them is 600mhz.

    Is it slower or faster than a regular cold boot? I thought cold boot to hibernation is slower than regular cold boot...
