I decided, now that I've got my new graphic card in and ready to rock socks, I'd time Photoshop's load up.
It loaded up in 2.46 seconds. pretty impressive for my standards, it doesn't take a lot to impress me though, I've been using slower computers *cough* college *cough* for so long that I've forgotten what speed actually is.
Photoshop Version: CS6 Extended
PC spec:
Windows 7 Professional N - 64 bit
AMD FX 6300 (@ 2.13ghz per core at point of loading)
8gb 1600Mhz RAM
500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue drive
AMD Radeon HD 7850 2gb (+2gb shared memory)
Background programs running:
Firefox: 5 tabs including two with Youtube.
PlayWithSix(Arma 2 Launcher)
CoreTemp (monitors current CPU temperature and clock rate)
Steam
Explorer
Hamachi (networking tool)
Sony PC companion
Feel free to post your Photoshop boot up speed, along with the PC spec and what other programs were running.
I don't want this turning into a fantasy brag fest, so keep the times and the PC specs honest, we can't all have beast machines like Hoogle.
Also, state whether you were pleased with that boot up speed or not.
Like I said, easily pleased, but very happy with my new-ish pooter
£350 well spent!
