you could defrag the hdd every couple months, that will make bootup a tiny bit faster.

Ok here's what I think you're talking about. Go to run and type msconfig. Then when the box comes up go to the boot.ini tab and change the timeout from 30 seconds to a value lower than that. I know I read that somewhere but I did not do it because I'm on my new laptop.
