Windows 7 Startup - Aspire One SSD vs Phenom X4 9950 3.0GHz

[wwyk1993]

SSD slower than HDD O_O

This is my first time seeing an SSD outperformed by a HDD..

[SOF006]

@wwyk1993 Thats because the SSD you have seen is a very bad one. Only 8GBs. Probably has as much power as a 5400RPM drive.

[nepalihercules]

mine takes about 29 sec, i got SSD on my pc. and if i turn on the instant boot, takes about 4 sec. (its not hibernation, google instant boot)

[lloydlim996]

LOL. my q8200 4gb ddr2 60gb ssd starts up in 12.

[elm1013]

they both looked pretty slow to me

[lloydlim996]

@elm1013 ikr?

[hamsterwolf]

i think u r one of the lucky few with the samsung ssd on the acer most with the intel ssd wont boot like that. why are there so many people getting nerd rage because of your video? its just a comparison video start up time is mostly important on a netbook because its portable. my netbook actually starts faster than my i7 rig but that does not mean im going to do hd encodes on it.

[gersonuziel1]

you had the desktop on hibernation

[Sniper257]

@gersonuziel1 It doesn't do the "Starting Windows" thing on hibernation.

[voiceofreason2008]

@Sniper257 true it would say resuming windows

[sargentaaron2004]

@gersonuziel1 Sorry, I LOL'd at your comment.

[z4z5z6]

Windows 7 LogonBackground Changer pretty nice you can change your Start/Boot up Background

[Elricc1]

Sounds like a Geiger counter

[tehhalders]

whats the point? its like comparing someone with 1 leg in a race against someone with 2 legs...

[Sniper257]

The point was not directly a comparison. If you ignore that there is a faster one in the video, it regains some merit, and shows how fast/slow it starts up.

[SocomX39]

Let me see this your comparing a SSD to a CPU yea great lets compare apples to oranges.

If you said maybe SSD to a Raptor drive then yea it would give us a proper comparison.

This is a waste... And for one

[IIIIFEARIIII]

lol

[feduncio]

Idiot, the notebook hibernates. SUCKER!

[Baraquiel62]

greetings from Mexico City!.. bad comparison.

[toolarmy1]

wtf are you talking about macs for????

[Laucheehung]

why is the aao startup so quick but shutdown so slow?

[Sniper257]

I have no idea, it's not this slow anymore.

[deluxedookie]

@Sniper257

windows visat & win7 auto defrag in the background that chould of been it.

[bigdima3]

wrong comparison , video fail

[Sniper257]

I agree, why do people watch this?

[brudermeinesvaters]

my mac without ssd starts up right between these two...

[Revolution5970]

No one cares, Mac boy.

[SupremeAmerican]

@Revolution5970 mak is for people who are not intelligent enough to use a PC.. It's basically the special ed of computers.

[tinozza]

l'apice della pipì raggiunge la laccatura d'oro commestibile?

[13Sakke13]

His electricity bill is very high i think o.0

[bloodblister1]

lol, you should see mine,

my PC alone uses 1,500 watts

[ThePhoneUpdate]

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline, that uses hardly any power, and i bet running mine non-stop for a year is cheaper than running yours for about a month :P

[Sniper257]

Yeah but I bed it can't run crysis at 60fps maxed out :P

[ThePhoneUpdate]

Nah, but runs fine on Normal :)

[AxLstyle]

i don't think any possible configuration today can run crysis at 60fps....the max was done by the new alienware ...sumthing around 45....but thats it

[charleshoskinson]

The new Radeon HD 5870s in tri-crossfire. The E-penis is strong in this one

[CmdrKeen]

Who the fuck cares about Crysis?

[ajstyles1020]

@CmdrKeen I know its so annoying, these kids act like they are paying 1500 dollars for a pc to run crysis amazingly, get a life people its called noone really cares that you are gonna run crysis wonderfully, all though a new computer wouldnt hurt me i wouldnt brag on crysis videos

[dante01010]

40 seconds to boot ?.. Sorry WIndows 7, Mac OS X is still much faster

[Bram25]

Get fucked, sad fanboy :')

[Qfic]

But if you want you can still make a PC boot faster.. My Arch installation boots in 15 seconds, with an "oldschool" 7200 RPM HDD.. And with a SSD on a more powerful machine you should be able to reach a 20 sec boot with WIN7, and possibly even less with some other OS's, and some tweaking.. WIN7 isn't much worse than OSX as it has a boot time around 35 seconds, AFAIK

[djlobb]

you suck, c'mon, how fast does OSX boot?? I don't think your very credible as being a Apple Whore so you best leave your comments some place else buddy!..

[dante01010]

yes , , i have a Macbook late 2007 with only 1 gb and a slow 5400 rpm hd and it boot faster than the both computers on this video

[djlobb]

You don't get the point do you? Linux/Unix distros boot differently, when Windows boots up from shutdown or restart, it boots all the registry, drivers, apps etc from scratch.. While OSX, when it's turned on, it boots the drivers first, then brings up the desktop THEN loads the apps and system files, its completly different, It's not much difference in speed, my cousin has a MacBook 2008 with 2GB RAM and it boots after restart in 35 odd seconds, my desktop with 7200rpm boots Win7 in about 32

[stingraytwo]

Hey dante01010 - Macbooks are FAR slower at booting than most PC's. But comparing any two random computers and concluding OS X is faster is what a typical mactard does. It's what annoys me about them. 1st of I've seen some macbooks boot in 20sec with SSD, while some PC's boot in 10 secs with HD's. But bottom line is the fastest PC, with the right set up will destroy any macbook out there. So stop bragging about which OS is faster as if you understood it.

[stingraytwo]

It's also about what is being loaded. But I was just laughing about a week ago at some mac user showing off his SSD and it took 30secs with SSD verses his 45 with HD. That said, I have a 4Ghz i7, 1TB and full ram system that just blows pretty much any mac out of the water. It also only cost $650. So quit being a fan boy and wake up. There are many choices in PC world here. - But again, it's up to what was being loaded. So this video is a relative test anyway.

[stingraytwo]

I know wonder how the PC that booted in 10 seconds would have done with an SSD. Probably like 7. And if you don't believe me search, "xp pro 10 second boot". And that's a new i7 like in my machine.

[dante01010]

compare your high end PC desktop with a Mac Pro, it's not fair compare with a Imac or macbook

[360elite4free1]

Why would you compare a PC that costed about 800 dollars, to a Mac Pro that's 2000, or more.

and it just makes whoever spent 2000 dollars look stupid.

[dante01010]

my macbook boots Snow Leopard in 22 seconds and it's a 2007 model with a 5400 rpm HDD, there is something wrong with that macbook that you are talking about, but i was saying that OS X is faster than Windows not Mac hardware better than PC

[hkseo100]

actually mac os x does start up faster.

i ahve a hackintosh, running 10.5.8.

if i press F8 on windows, nad stop the boot loader on the Mac boot loader, and record both and match, the mac books up in less than 7 seconds.

thats without raid0.

regular 7200rpm.

these are fresh installs.

[Heartagramerz]

its an acer dumb ass

[Sniper257]

Uh what?

[Heartagramerz]

sorry but I hate Acer, Dell, and eMachines.

[UnrealGlider]

Any reason to back your uneducated opinion?

[Heartagramerz]

Don't need to.

You should just buy one and try it yourself.

If you still don't get it then that is ok...

You are just missing it

[StylusEcho18]

Sorry but we don't give a crap.

[Sniper257]

My old acer laptop (not this one) was the biggest piece of shit ever, I couldn't have it running for more than 5 minutes before it turned off. They have really stepped up their game since 2008 it seems.

[Heartagramerz]

good

[shawnph]

You will also need to unplug the DVD on the Phenom or plug a USB DVD into the Acer. You probably hav the bios set on the Phenom to check the optical drive for boot media. This eats time. The Acer doesn't have an optical drive. Not really logical to compare a fully decked-out machine to one that's bare-bones.

[Sniper257]

If I turned everything off it wouldn't be a realistic test. It wasn't intended as a "scientific" test by any means and I'm sorry if it was interpreted that way. In real world usage it would take this long to start up on both, from power button to desktop.

[shawnph]

It's a flawed test. The Phenom doesn't start loading when the Acer starts loading. The BIOS is still doing initial checks while the Acer is loading. Turn on fastboot and turn off all of the floppy checks, memory checks, etc. on the Phenom so you're not comparing apples to oranges.

Besides, who cares? These two machines have different purposes. And who spends the majority of their time loading Windows anyway, even if it was a 3 second difference?

[Zukatsr125]

Hey fellow !

How is the acer aspire one ?

Overall is it Good quality ? (sorry for the english)

Do you have *almost* fullsize enter key ?

Greetings.Rickard

[Sniper257]

Hello,

Overall, I love my Aspire One. It works for what I need it to and is very durable. I keep it in my backpack at school wedged between textbooks and it somehow survives :O

The enter key is comparable to what you'd see on normal laptops, but everything is a little smaller. Once you get used to the smaller keys it's a breeze to type on.

Best of luck!

[lf2fireandice]

Dude, the aspire one is my freaking best friend.

Get the 10.1 inch AOD150 if you're looking into it, with the 6-cell battery and 160 gb hard drive. That's what I got, and I love it. Running Windows 7 build 7106 on it. I get 25-30 seconds bootup. I also upgraded mine to 2gb of ram, it was a really easy RAM upgrade and the RAM was only 20$ online!

I'm EXTREMELY happy with the Acer Aspire One D150. 10/10

[Bongburre]

what motherboard are you useing?

[Sniper257]

MSI K9A2VM-FD

One of the lower-end AM2 motherboards but it does what I need it to,

[ILikePrettyGirls]

Nice. Was your Win7 version vlited or was it the full thing? Did you turn off anything else (such as page filing, D2D)? How was win7 performance overall on the AAO, any hair tearing annoyances?

Thanks in advance for replies.

[macfanleapord]

Cute Butt lol

[shingabo]

nop no cd do you know where i can download or get the acer xp factory default cd???

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

[Sniper257]

I don't think you'll find that. Just find a copy of Windows XP and install from a USB or external drive.

[shingabo]

i install windows 7 works great but made the mistake of deleting accers xp is there a known way to recover to accers xp factory dafault????

[Sniper257]

Did you get a recovery CD in the box? If you did you should be able to use that to restore.

[nitemeer]

nice.. how you get it to boot up that fast on your AAO? mine takes around 1 minute and 10 second to fully boot to desktop.

[seeyhkstore]

I am suprised that the netbook can start up so fast.

[nitemeer]

to me.. it seems pretty slow.. vista booted way more faster on my netbook.

[navsterx]

Don't forget its still very much in beta..

[marksapollo]

Haha, fantastic, love the lil Aspire One. Best value computer there is.
