How fast does your PC boot up?

Mines abot 15-20 secs from the windows logo appearing, i've just installed 2 velociraptor (150gb) drives in raid 0 now when the welcome screen appears well it deos'nt really it just flashes straight to desktop. I had 2 old 74 gb raptors before but these are way quicker.
 
About a minute. [email protected], 4GB Ram, Asus P5B-E. The long boot time is caused by my MS/Razer Reclusa Keyboard, it hangs on BIOS at the start for about 10seconds and then the same again during Vista loading bars. Never found a fix for it :(
 
my boot is a joke my mobo is screwed happened when my hiper blew
it locks up on searching for devices so i have to reset each time until it decides to not look for the 5th Drive.
so my boot time ranges from 2mins - 2 hours :(
 
about 15-20 seconds talking first xp screen not bios xp pro 32 bit only have 14 processes running and nothing in startup
will get slower and slower the more I fill up my c drive no doubt

Current machine is at least a minute I'd guess, my old KT7aRAID used to boot in about 8 seconds with XP.
 
Mine; about 3-5 minutes to be able to use it properly, lol.

TF I'm upgrading now, I'm going spare at my computer now, I'm even surprised it hasn't been launched through my window yet.
 
slowly:p

i only cold boot if theres a crash or im installing software or something, i alway put it to sleep so really about 3 seconds from pressing the button to putting my password in lol
 
Well I remember one of my computers used to take 10 minutes to get into the OS that was because my MBR was corrupted but right now it takes around 1 minute.

I understand raptors with a RAID 0 setup could be the quickest.
But honestly does it matter if it takes 1 minute or 10 seconds?
