all i can tell you is its less time than it takes than to go to the loo and have some cereal in the morning.... something i cant say for stalker: call of pripyat complete :mad:
 
interesting first reply...it usually takes me a least 2 mins to curl one out in the morning

I am talking about the time it takes your computer to turn on and go into windows, not go to the toilet, eat cereal or play a game!?
 
Cold boot is well over a minute for me, maybe two (RAID controller takes ages to initialise) but I rarely reboot let alone sit and watch so dont care :p

Resuming from suspend to RAM - quicker that my monitor wakes up

well, thats all the info i can give you about bootup, because the PC gets turned on as i head down for breakfast, and doesnt get turned off till i head to bed
 
I think about 40 seconds on my old Q6600 rig. It hasn't been rebooted since October 19th, so I'm not entirely sure :D
