Your photoshop boot up speed?

[Zeealex]

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!

surely the best way to rate your speed is by extras each plugin, patterns brushes, extensions, actions and fonts installed.

clean install on my main pc is about 2 give or take a second lol

intel i7 4770k

120 GB kingston hyper X SSD for for windows 8.1 pro
60 GB Kingston hyper X SSD for just installed common programs I use adobe suit office and cinema 4d etc

1 TB hybrid drive about 940 GB useabe PCI

nvidia GTX 780 Ti Twin Fozr Graphics card

16 gbs Kingston hyper x ram

Asus z87 pro mainboard

but looking to improve cpu and mainboard configuration

Laptop

about 6 second boot up

Asus ultrabook modded
windows 8.1 pro dual boot with Linux Ubuntu distribution
512 gb samsung Pro ssd
1 TB HGST secondary drive

16 gb ram

i7 etc etc

All though I have just got my hands on an i7 alienware 17 inch screen but that is to be resold on as to be honest I fnd it way to big and bulky and annoying with all the lights etc. just isnt as pretty.

2 seconds is pretty fast tbh ! Using a sony vaio laptop with an I3 processor and 4gb of ram had for a couple of years takes about 10-15 to boot up works like a dream after tho and has done its job just fine so far. Cant wait upgrade to next month tho !

Having CS6 on my solid state drive, it loads up in about 2 seconds.. not really a reliable way to time it accurately.. so you can probably go +/- .3s on it
