I am upgrading my PC soon, and have been gifted a i5-2500k to start with, but but I've been out of the PC hardware scene for a couple years.
I have a Samsung Series 9 laptop and it cold boots in just under 10 seconds. I was thinking, is this possible on a desktop PC? I remember reading about UEFI MB + SSD combos that were supposed to achieve this with Windows 8. Is this true in practice and is windows 8 necessary? I have Windows 7 Pro and I'd like to stick with it, a new windows licence is money out of the hardware budget.
