A friend of mine is in a statistical math class examining and developing a hypothesis based on computer reboot times.
All computers used for this study must be newer(ish), no old sub 1000mhz systems if you please. Newer single core or dual core (2000ish MHZ) would be most ideal; Windows only please.
Simple procedure, get out yur stopwatch (or watch with a second hand) close all programs running (not task bar items) hit the start menu and press restart then start your timer.
Please post your time to a complete reboot, to the point where you can actually start a program, not just the splash screen. If you wouldn't mind tell me your CPU and RAM amount (hard drive size is not important).
You're help here is very much appreciated
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a competition to find out who has the fastest rig; we need real world data to ensure the greatest amount of accuracy.
Thanks,
Ken
