WHY MY HOME COMPUTER (THREE TIME BETTER PERFOMANCE HARDWARE), BOOT-UP (WINDOWS 7) 3 TIMES SLOWER
THAN MY OFFICE COMPUTER??

I HAVE A CUSTOM BUILD HOME COMPUTER $680 (USD), OFFICE COMPUTER $399 (USD), NOW I HAVE DOUBLE THE PRICE, HALF THE PERFOMANCE!!!!

ANY HELP TO FIX THIS???
APPREC. ANY HELP

I'd scan for viruses. That can really slow things down.
Is your shift key stuck? If you tap it repeatedly, it will usually unstick.

If you spent money on a custom build, you overspent if you're having performance issue on that machine.

Boot up times are not really that important- it means you are loading up more stuff.
I'd say you will see a great boot up improvement if you could upgrade your home pc to a true sata III ssd, like a samsung 64gb 830 series-which is pretty cheap these days.

Typical boot time for Windows 7 is 45 seconds from start to "hard drive stops doing something". If your home computer takes a full two minutes, you obviously have crap on your computer that's slowing it down.

It depends. My Athalon x2 system takes about one and a half minutes to boot to the login screen, and about 5 minutes until when the hard drive stops doing stuff after login. It becomes usable about 20 seconds after login.
By comparison, a Core 2 Duo laptop I have takes about one minute to boot, and becomes usable 15 seconds after login. These systems are both clean and normal.
An i5 system I build is in between the two, time wise.
It really depends on the hardware.

This is why I said typical... though I'd worry about you too. I had an T8600 laptop and it boot into Windows 7 usable within a minute or less. Did you do an msconfig scrub?

It also depends what security you are running. Panda Security can slow your boots by 2 minutes, while ESET did closer to 30 seconds. I wouldn't worry about my systems, because they aren't using SSDs for the boot drive.
