HOW TO MAKE YOUR COMPUTER START FASTER

[ctjoyce]

Why, leaving your machine on for 72+ houres at a time can actually make it run slower in the long run.

was that 5 seconds from the BIOS boot screen to the Windows desktop?

...or 5 seconds from the the point you pushed the tower power button?

If you are talking about boot time from the black background WindowsXP boot logo to SEEING the desktop and assuming you have optimized the system for 100% boot performance that's about right if you do not have anything other than XP with no updates and only FS9 installed.

Even after you see the desktop Windows is still loading in the background. The time it takes for that process to complete increases as more software is installed and Windows Updates are applied. It increases further if your system is on a network.

That boot time, as described above, is typical for a correctly tuned boot. I get about the same on an A8V deluxe with a 3700+ on SATA RAID or IDE. I also get the same with this:

I do not expect the boot time to change that much even with the dual FX processor
