Im 35-40 secs running win ME on celery 433 and 64mb. Yeah, thats not the greatest, but I remote start the whole thing. So even if I am just outside the car and remote boot - by the time I get in, put my seatbelt on, put my sunglasses on, and flip up my LCD (which has too boot up too (Pioneer)) ...its pretty much "good to go" by then.
My engine has to warm up for atleast 20 secs. So I cant go anywhere till then anyways. Damn big fat toyota engine!

30 seconds hibernating in Win ME with an AMD K6-2 500mhz and 128MB ram.
Full boot time is like 70 seconds.

Full boot in about 25 secs. Just over 20 secs of that is the mobo post though. About 2-3 secs from starting to load DOS to having a menu on the screen.

22 seconds from powerup.
Windows 98 (98lite), Duron 800 64MB RAM.
Windows is really stripped down, since I only have an LCD display there is no video card drivers. Windows boots straight to my mp3car app (using the shell= command). Also I have virtual memory turned OFF, so that windows does not have to worry about setting up the swap file.....

I am planning on using 98lite as well, but I was hoping you could tell me a little about the virtual memory thing. I haven't heard of that before. Thanks

Mine takes about 1 minute...
lol
why??
its a P75 running dos and mpxplay. it pauses on the bios screen just after it checks the 16megs of ram...
It also has to run the drivers for the soundcard and scsi controller card that I have a CDrom drive connected to...
I hold the record for the slowest boot time!!!!!
YES!!!
I have the "best" and greatest of something!!!
lol

well Im not sure that it makes a huge speed difference, but with enough ram you can turn it off (even though the windows OS does not reccomend it). Turn it off under the Control Panel-System icon. Then goto the Virtual Memory tab.
At the least my OS does not write back any files for swap space etc (the windows.swp file) which is good if you want to be able to turn your system off at any point - you dont want the OS writing away to the swap file at that point....
Charles..... how are you getting a 1sec boot?? susspend to RAM?

Built a friends DOS box and had it up and running in about 6-8 seconds. But his HD crashed and he bought a new one and it went up to about 12 seconds!! Both same speed drives, etc. Wierd how it makes that much of a differece.
