Mine's about 18 seconds.

From when you press the on button on the case until you say the blue slidey loading thing.

Also, specs as well :)

Mine:
3GHZ
Corsair XMS3200 Pro DDR 512MBx2
200GB SATA DMax+10
Asus P5P800 SE

Yours?

Trying to hard.

If its to windows useable then its about 20 seconds, to the point when its all loaded is about 40 as I load Outlook / MSN / FF / Onenote amongst others.
 
15 seconds maybe i`ve turned most things off i don`t need on boot.Just checked and its more like 40 seconds :(

MY PC likes to not do much for about 7 passes of the Windows loading bar, and then the HDD relises that it exists and kicks into gear... and then I'm into Windows after another 7 passes.

Usable - 30-40secs.
 
mine takes ages (well, I never count infact:p) but I dont really care anyway cus my PC is on 24/7 :D

that would depends a lot on what you enable/disable in BIOS :)

About eight seconds. But most of it's waiting to e.g. enter the bios, run memory checks etc. There's no way of disabling these to make it go faster!!
 
Four seconds for laptop (Inspiron 6000 1.73GHz Pentium M).
Twelve seconds for main rig (P4 3.0E Abit IC7 Max 3).

Finally something that isn't entirely dependant on pure number crunching performance :D

null :)
 
Around 15 seconds, but this is entirly dependant on mobo and bios features. Had an asus with a barton once that could do it is about 4 seconds. At least I have only one 'slidey' pass and it carries on. :p
 
Mine used to do half a pass at the loading xp bar and go straight past it. Now i reformatted it does like 8 passes lol

God knows why.
 
Around 14 secs...
After it detects the 2 x arrays, mem test etc.

It's the array screens that increases the time.
They have to allow 3 seconds or so after detecting the array so you can "Press F10" to enter its config.

So with just IDE it would probably be closer to 8 seconds.

EDIT, in case sig is too dull... :p
X2 3800
2GB 3500
1 'RAID' array for the Raptor
1 RAID5 array for the Seagates
