    Well, seeing as my Athlon XP 2.2GHz clocks a similar time, I don't know about "fast" per se, but it definitely looks like a reasonable figure.

    Here's the "feel good" factor.

    SuperPi 2M = 4 min 21s. Pentium 4 mobile 1.6GHz in Dell Inspiron 2650.

    For mine to completly boot and load all at least a minute and a half. So you win that but not the CPU there. My HDD is 5400rpm but I suspect I just have a lot more stuff to load.

    The computer I mentioned earlier also takes about thirty seconds, though there's almost nothing loaded on it.
