Booting into Vista X64 FAST

Someone once told me he could boot into vista x64 from cold in just 6 seconds, just cant believe that, he had a velociraptor in raid.
I have a regular raptor and have tried every trick under the book to get a faster boot, normally take around a minute, even with a quadcore pc with 8gb ram... my partners laptop takes around 30 seconds off that and is nowhere near as powerful.

Does anyone have any mega tips for fast boots apart from the dreaded hibernation? I even tried a OCZ SSD but thought they were a waste of money for the like 2 second difference.

I use no gui boot + # of processors set to max

all can be found in msconfig

yeah does nothing for me

Not a solution though

2 seconds...30 seconds...

not much of a difference... people get way too hung up on Boot times.

I turn on PC, make a coffee, kiss the wife, pat the dogs and when I get back everything is all there waiting for me.

No stress

(for the record, my boot up time is roughly 45 seconds)
