    Hi guys,

    Has anyone here with VPCZ1xx managed to do those insane superfast boots in less than 10 secs? I am aware that the VPCZ3xx is capable of that since there is a youtube video showing it.

    I've gone through the FAQ for VPCZ1xx, looked at the last few pages of the owners' thread, hacking BIOS before asking here since I am stumped.

    I only started trying to figure this out after I just grabbed the new Samsung tablet and the time it takes to boot into Windows 8 was the time my VPCZ1xx took to complete POST.

    I am not a power user who want to be able to tweak all the different values of a BIOS since all I wish to do is enable UEFI instead of the default BIOS for my VPCZ1xx.

    I won't kill myself it isn't possible but I am so envious of my tablet's ability to zip into a full blown Windows in 10 seconds while my ultra quad raid VPCZ is still struggling with POST...

    Thanks guys!
