VIA M10K
512MB RAM
30BG 4200RPM *i think*
Opus 150W

Software:
RR v11-04-07 as shell
WMP9
K-Lite Codec Pack v2.88
Winamp v5.13
iG v3.0
HD Radio
VAG-COM v3.11-N
AI v3.0

w/ all necessary drivers.

From "key-on" to music averages to 38 seconds from cold boot.
From "Key-on" to music averages to 27 seconds from resume.

6 seconds is waiting for the Opus to send the "power on" signal to the mobo.

This is a pretty lean install, right?

Looking at my hardware, my HDD could be a limiting factor. I have a 10GB 5400RPM HDD lying around here that I could swap to. Would that help my boot times?

Eventually, I am going to transfer to a CF card, but want to do an extensive shakedown of the system since what I do here will evenutally be emulated in my carPCv2.0 Pico-ITX install.

My goal is to get a sub 20 sec HORM or cold boot. Is that possible w/ my hardware and software choices?

I really would appreciate the input.

TIA!

I installed MicroXP but I didn't install EMF or HORM installed and I get into windows in 30seconds.

Hardware
VIA MII 10K
1 GB Ram
120 GB WD (5400rpm)
Bluetooth adapter (Belkin)
BU-353 (USB)
iFreedom Wireless Keyboard
M1-ATX

Software
Nero 7
IG 4
SlingPlayer
Word, Excel, Outlook 03
PowerDVD 7
Winamp 5.13

I installed MicroXP cause I wanted faster boot times also. I installed most of my apps but I have not installed RR yet. I wanted to see if I can get faster boot times by using bootvis before I added RR.
