it doesnt count the time it takes those programs to open.

You sure? The pop up didn't show until after steam came up...I think. I'll check on next boot again.

yes im sure. I timed it with and without steam starting up, and they were exactly the same.

LOL, I xed out so no pic, but I got

58.8 Seconds

That's terrible, lol.

Don't feel bad- I got 40 some odd seconds. And that's with an SSD as my boot drive.

Man, I really need to optimize my rig more... never really paid much attention to boot times.

56 seconds but that is with having to log on (not removing my password, Bob tries to hack in) and then having to wait for the little box to pop up and ask if it's ok to run boottime program then click yes.
Crappy boot time but I can live with it, it ain't like i constantly reboot all day.

I dont reboot.....

36.7sec and that's with my new SSD I just installed 1 day ago.

This test is absolute BS. Timing from the moment the BIOS hands off to the SSD for loading Windows, to the login screen is only 7 seconds, it takes me 3 to type my login, and then 2 seconds more before the desktop is ready to use. This benchmark is BS. It adds too much time for after your at a usable desktop for it's own processing.

The benchmark reported 24 seconds, but spent 12 of those second on a usable desktop going through it's own internal crap, and still timing it. So, of the benchmark's reported 24 seconds, only 12 of them are valid, and that's including how long it takes to type my fairly complex password.
