RE: How fast does your computer boot up?
mine is amazingly slow due to crp i have, most programs take ages esp photoshop cos i have millions of fonts,

i tweaked it a little by stopping the boot images which speeds things up

are you trying to tell me that you open up your computer. Windows loads up, you log in, all the startup things come out, in 2 seconds?

Anyway, i start it my comp up in less then a minute

Operating System: [ Windows XP  ]

Space [Hard Disk 1]: [ 2.23GB / 24.4GB ] 
Space [Hard Disk 2]: [15.3GB / 64.8GB]

Ram Usage: [ 207MB /  896MB ]
CPU Info: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2700+
CPU Speed: 2167 mHz

I usually class my PC's boot-up speed in sections:
BIOS: 4 Secs [doesn't change]
Windows XP Logo Screen: 5 Secs [The bar goes round once every 5 secs i think, mines only goes round once :P]
Windows XP Logon Screen: 15 Secs until I can use it.
Logon Time: Usually around 10 secs

So in total, about 35 seconds.
