I have been googeling around and I want to find out what HARDWARE effects boot times the most? I dont want to know software tips to speeed up boot times! Or does it all come back to the os. Do even super computers still take 45 seconds to boot just cause it has to load BIOS video cards whatevs.

Anything in regards to speed... it's the processor and RAM. In fact the setup I have, it only takes 8 seconds from when I push the power button to logging into windows (no username). And Windows doesn't even look like it loads at all once I log in.
You know when the boot image is up and it shows the little green/blue bar going across the center of the screen as Windows loads up all your start programs and drivers etc..? On my PC that "blinks" once and Windows logs in. I hear on the new i7 processors with the DDR3 1600MHz RAM Windows loads up within 3-4 seconds after a fresh install. And the boot image that shows "windows loading" doesn't even exist... it bypasses that because of the monster processing power those processors and RAM produces. Just imagine what a i7 processor over clocked to 5.6GHz could do o.o;; (yes, they're capable of that without water cooling) |
