I think this link further shows how crazy you are WinLinMac01



@WInLinMac01
i boot with 30-35 seconds on a 5000+ x2 @ 3ghz per core w/4gb ddr800 so how is it possible your hardware that's 1/3 as fast can even compete?
7 seconds on a 3500+ Venice is impossible
if its true show us what your doing that were not. and booting from sleep doesn't count.

Also your profile says your running "Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI Express (2) / SLI-mode [QE/CI Enabled]"
Running SLI in OS X? that's impossible.
