My PC at home takes about 2 to 3 minutes (have a lot of crap that runs at startup that I really should get rid of).

XP in one of our Labs at work takes less than 10 seconds to boot (each machine is a Intel P4 2.8GHz based machine with 1 Gig ram). In fact, using a little util I wrote, I can shutdown and reboot all 31 machines in the lab (30 student machines,1 lecturer's machine) in less than one minute.
