Instant Boot, a user-friendly tool that allows you to turn on your PC in just a
few seconds, provides a much more efficient way to save energy, time,
money, and improves system running speed for your system *. It is
applicable to Windows® 7 / 7 64-bit / Vista™ / Vista™ 64-bit / XP / XP 64-bit.
Instant Boot leverages the S3 and S4 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) features which normally enable the Sleep/Standby and
Hibernation modes in Windows® to shorten boot up time. By calling S3 and
S4 at specific timing during the shutdown and startup process, Instant Boot
allows you to enter your Windows® desktop in a few seconds.
There are two modes of Instant Boot available: Fast Mode and Regular
Mode. In Fast Mode, it uses S3 and takes only a few seconds for OS to
resume to working state, which is 10 times faster than traditional boot up
time (50 to 60 seconds). Even the Regular Mode is 3 times faster than
traditional boot up time.

Instant Boot guarantees a clean Windows® boot to consume less power,
time and money without any accumulated garbage data, and you can still
keep your data safe even there is a power cut. Also, the Windows® update
speed will become faster.
* This function is applicable ONLY to single user that does not secure ID and Password
to their systems.
* The boot up time depends on the hardware configuration.
