With all this money you have invested in Paraphanalia, you don't have cable? How many webservers does a person need? A dozen USB devices? You work for the CIA or what? Guys at Circuit City must really smile when they see you coming.

I had an ide card hocked up on my machine to squeeze in a 3rd harddrive, and it botted in a fair 2 minutes. I also have a dozen usb devices but it never took more then 5 minuted to boot, look at mine now without the ide card ive timed some 13 sec. almost all the time.

There is much more you can do to improve Boot Times like using:

Autoruns to disable useless startup applications
Turning off unnecessary services
Making sure your system is Virus and Spyware free
Running PageDefrag
And of course using BootVis

All this is found here: Optimize XP - A Windows XP Optimization Guide
