True enough; but this shouldn't take five minutes on a server with multiple GB/s memory bandwidth. My Dell 6950's take a full five minutes to POST, and that's ridiculous. There's eight cores; each core has enough bandwidth to its local RAM (NUMA, of course) where it should be able to sustain 2GB/s zeroing without a lot of trouble; that's a rate of 16GB/s aggregate, and my 32GB of RAM should be zeroed in 2 seconds or so. Not five minutes.

i find the biggest part of server POST is all the storage and network adapter bios's need to get in there, scan the storage busses, enumerate raids, initialize intel boot agents, and so forth.
