I startup in about 25 seconds and shutdown in about 5-10 seconds. I've found that shutdown is quite slow if it has to shut down xp mode before shutting down the host. D

They have to disengage them during the shutdown process. On my previous PC, XP 32bit with a P4 3.2gig processor (the old single core) with 2gigs of RAM, I had nearly as fast a startup and shutdown as the system I have now with Win7 64bit. And my current system has 12gigs 1333mhz RAM, an i7 950, and a 160gig SSD for the primary drive. On both systems, I never have anything running at startup, I turn things on when I need them and turn them off when I don't. I know this is scary for some people, but I never use anti-virus protection as well as that is cause for many a slow startup and shutdown. |
