I think this link further shows how crazy you are WinLinMac01

@WInLinMac01
i boot with 30-35 seconds on a 5000+ x2 @ 3ghz per core w/4gb ddr800 so how is it possible your hardware that's 1/3 as fast can even compete?
7 seconds on a 3500+ Venice is impossible
if its true show us what your doing that were not. and booting from sleep doesn't count.

Also your profile says your running "Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI Express (2) / SLI-mode [QE/CI Enabled]"
Running SLI in OS X? that's impossible.

You have to be aware that when you don't have many applications installed, that does the trick too you know. Starting when the white screen appears, that took me 6 seconds last night before that white screen showed the blue screen and logged into the operating system environment.

if its true back it up and show us what your doing that were not. and booting from sleep doesn't count.

Also your profile says your running "Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI Express (2) / SLI-mode [QE/CI Enabled]"
Running SLI in OS X REALLY? that's a flat out lie. are you a compulsive liar or is it me? i really wish i could get over this but it really bothers me when people lie. have some integrity.

I think some people exagerate boot time, but really my Intel boots so quick. My AMD is about 30 seconds though :(

Seriously, buddy, I'm not exaggerating here. I don't have any applications installed, I am using the O/S as it is. =)

yea and your sli probably ROCKS

The board is award-winning and has its reputation, but I still doubt that is the reason. I am running a triple-boot configuration here.

its known that running sli wont even start the gui.

I was wondering if there is some procedure that makes the boot time better.
Also I belive that some processes on osx could be removed/turned off...

any one knows anything about speed up the boot?

I´m runnig zeph rev2 updated to 10.5.4 at venice 3500, 6600gt, 7200rpm hd , 2gb ram...
