[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 907779, member: 2960"] Adding RAM won't help your boot time. In fact, the more RAM you have, the slower your boot time will be. This is because the RAM has to be checked at each startup. Again, (and I'm starting to sound like a broken record here) RAM doesn't speed up anything. Period. What will help is a faster HD and trimming out things from your startup folder. Your new HD is faster so your boot time decreased. The RAM had nothing to do with it. However, there really isn't any reason to shut down the computer in the first place. Just put it to sleep when you're not using it. Then you won't have to worry about boot times. [/QUOTE]
