(alrhough some misbehaving sound app has been opening /dev/dsp and not closing it, really pissing me off. i think someone should make a kernel module for flushing unclosed abandoned file descriptors)

That isn't necessary. If the process isn't running anymore then the file won't be open. You shouldn't ever need to reboot unless you're upgrading the kernel.

if my video card (nvidia) didn't show me that damn logo for so long, i could safely say the machine boots in 4 seconds or so. when I was saying 4 seconds I was meaning from the time it begins to load windows, to the time it's done.
1.7 seconds is very possible, with fast ram and hibernation. pc2700 256mb will boot fast, if i add the other 256mb stick it takes a little longer.
