Phoenix is working on the latest in BIOS technology and what have they got to show for it? They can boot a Windows 7 computer in less than 10 seconds, and post in just under 1.5 seconds.
The new technology called UEFI has been a long time coming, but it looks to be worth the wait. Steve Jones, chief scientist at Phoenix, showed off the new BIOS at IDF this week. He booted up a Lenovo T400 that made it to the Windows 7 desktop in less than 10 seconds. They also retrofitted a Dell Adamo that got there in under 20 seconds.
The guys at Engadget caught it all on video.

Looks like they both have SSDs. Can't wait for this to trickle down to mobo makers and we can start realizing this speed boost for enthusiasts.

Well hell, it's about freaking time they got off their asses and worked on boot strap timing.
Glad to see it.
Long, long, long over-due...
