There isnt a problem , i just dont think you didnt quite understand the question properly but dont worry bout it now .
What i mean is from when you press the power button on your case how long does it take your computer till you can see your desktop with all the icons on it

What he means is that internet connection speed wont have any effect whatsoever on a pcs boot time, so your obviously on about something else.

Oh, and mines about 28 seconds #1 in sig

The lappy is all factory stock, only 1.3 mhz, 256 ram, 40 gig hhd.

But I tweaked it the best I could....from the time I push the power button til windows is loaded, I would say about 25 seconds...

damn i feel sorry for you. what a crappy processor

my boot time is well over 30 seconds (im guessing). i have the classic logon screen and it has to load up a lot of things. im not too bothered though, i use hibernation
