    Mine boots in 47 seconds. I do have quick boot turned off. Running xp pro sp3

    Same as BigO, when i had vista it booted in 20-30 seconds but it never really slowed down. Vista was always pretty quick for me after I upgraded to a core 2 duo found an ISO and just burned that and used my CD key. I just didnt like the fact that it was taking up 10 gb and some of my older games would run 20 percent slower.

    This gadget doesn't measure the start up time but the uptime.
