boot your PC in less than 30s?

I have yet to try it, but it's pretty much a splashtop.

Could possibly bring new life to an old rig.

Asus has something like this preinstalled on some of their motherboards. I haven't tried it out yet.

Most new computers modded these days could boot their PC in 30 seconds. I can boot mines up within 30seconds.

I just leave mine on standby.

Mine can go from pushing the power button to searching on Google in Opera in about 50 seconds if I disable AHCI. The AHCI BIOS takes about 20 seconds to load :(

AHCI is fucking gay...before it was the SATA controller loading that pissing me off, now AHCI. I could boot up windows in 25 seconds without this gay bios, and I don't find it any faster

SkinnyPupp 03-18-2009 05:48 AM
You need to use AHCI to get full use of HDD technologies

I always go take a piss or a dump when I start up my netbook / desktop. When I come back, everything should be ready
