ASUS Eee PC 900 vs HP 2133 WIN XP Boot up Time

[bluetooth]

There is no doubt the ASUS Eee PC boots up much faster than the HP 2133 as it's OS is installed in SSD.

not a fair comparsion, they should time it "After bios loaded" and time the boot up time, b/c this is boot up + xp loading time,

FYI, the POST time on the eee pc is so fast that it loads xp directly.

Even if you ignore the post times... just time it in your head on the windows loading screen...
IT too FREAKING AGES for the HP to start....
and they never clearly showed whether the Hp had any crap installed... EG MSN.. Slow as hell
