my pc actually takes about a half to 3/4 minute now, but was about 15 seconds when it was new about 3 years ago. a fast intel quad core with at least 8gb of fast memory is needed these days if you plan to keep it for a few years. an ssd does help too. my mobo is an asus that i believe does have circuitry that somehow also speeds up the start process. you'll pay more with every bump in ability, but it'll last much longer. mine may outlive me. of course the usual cleanings of junk files, dupes, viruses, etc do help to keep things going well too. even at that the updates they put on every program a zillion times adds more subroutines every time. they usually don't delete them, but rather redirect and that takes time.
