Mine is 115 now... I'm not sure how to get the graphics tweaked a bit to get a faster response time while booting.
Vista Home Premium
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5 GHz, T5250
Bus Speed: 667MHz
Memory: 4GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive: 160 GB Serial ATA, 5400RPM
Graphic Processor: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100
heres mine with normal log in and dream scene running as well as 57 processes had to use my fingers will be looking into this auto log in to speed that up. 90 seconds aint half bad
I got mine to 112 but i have nothing special just what was shuved into my equium laptop which is nothing special. so thats pretty decent and its not like i sit around while it starts up.
So I have a question for you guys. I remember when this thread was first created. I looked at everyones. I even ran the test and I didn't do very well. I think 90 seconds or something of that sort. I have a Quad runnin at 3.5 GHz or so or whatever I use that day. it should load up much faster than that. The only things I have set to Run at start-up are eset NOD32, CoreTemp, and Sidebar. other than that. everything else is just the usual.. oh and Rocketdock on startup now also.
But when I restart my computer. I get past the beginnings. I get to the Windows Vista Screen
and after that I have a good long I'd say at least 30 second or so Pause before I get to Enter my password.. and all these Restarts while changing BIOS settings for my OC. it's long and time consuming. if I could cut my time I'd be happy.
whats causing this lag. and what can I do to get rid of it?
Ya so I still have that long pause right after that screen I linked to above.
but I tried a test. and with 1 core being used on start-up my score was 76 seconds. I changed that to use all 4 cores and all i got was 5 seconds less.. pretty weak, as other say like 40 seconds. lol
I used to have that long pause, just before the Vista startup sound played. For me it was somehow linked to me disabling ReadyBoost. I re-enabled it after reading about ReadyBoost and ReadyBoot, and how they're linked together (ReadyBoot being the cache on RAM for processes when booting up, or something). With ReadyBoost enabled (even thought I don't use a USB drive for it), the long pause disappeared.
