If you get bored (like me) to waiting 2-3 minutes for the Windows boot, there is a solution!
Look here!

now that's something to dream about, nice find!

2-3 min !?!?!?!?!?

My XP desktop takes tops 30 sec... And I think that's slow compared to my Fluxbox desktop which takes half of that. Either I got a fast comp (Pentium 1.4 GHz 768 DDR) or you have a lot of snot running in the background. Time to reinstall maybe? :max:

2-3 minutes..? :blink:

Mine must take at most 30 seconds, everything included...

My PII 450 does not takes 45sec to boot. :D

But all of my computers mostly take longer to shut down, as all of them are set to clear page file. :blink:

My computer rearly boots - it's always on.

About iRAM: the boot time is not what's important. It's that the programs in Windows loads a lot faster because the slowest part of the sistem - magnetic hard drive - is eliminated (or better said: replaced with ramdisk).

Yes is a simple solution... but it's the first time that someone do it!

My computer is Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, Windows 98 and Windows XP SP2 2002 dual boot! My computer in both Win98 and XP takes anything between 15-30 seconds and I don't think I need that stuff! But its good for the people who really save seconds and for some serious people!
Thanx

Delete all the crap from the startup process and defragment the HD, this alone will help already. ;)

it depends LOT on speed of HDD
