GoogleNinja Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 There's no way the boot time was correct. Taken from digg.com ... "Everyone saw that video and everyone knows it's a con. But what are the real boot up times ? You'll be very surprised to see my test results. or maybe not surprised at all." Go to http://silvermac.com/blog/archives/58 for proof!

gigapixels Veteran Posted January 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 18, 2006 I say sorry for the mac owners out there that used to think that pc where less good then a machintosh machine.. sniff But Now we know who has the best peice of equipement. Lolllllllllllllllllllll, i am getting myself one of does god it will be good to know that i buy a very good machine compared to does that went and got a 3000$ machine for nothing lollllllllllllllllll I gona feel so good I quoted you before you edited. Let me say that "does" is an actual word and shouldn't be used instead of "those." And I must also say that us Mac owners never said the PC hardware was worse, simply Windows itself. Well, I'm speaking for myself, but I'm sure the majority at least agrees with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Okay, this iMac G5 is defective or is having a very hard time booting. It CAN'T take that long simply because my Mac mini is twice as fast.... So this video is duh... meh.... :no: :angry: :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I dont have a mac but the G5 one there's gotta be something wrong with, a fresh install is needed because there is no way it took that long to load up, that'd be redicilious, i've seen ibooks load quicker than that yeah my ibook boots up quicker then that and its loading a lot mroe stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebaz Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 There's defenitely something wrong with that imac G5. Anybody the huge delay between video and the power-up of the machine? That doesn't look right at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Downin Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Sorry everyone for posting this, I thought it was legit. The G5 is not booting at normal speed I guess. Anyway, the intel still boots pretty fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 There's something seriously wrong with that right iMac because not even my eMac G4 1GHz takes that long to go from black to the grey Apple screen. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt T Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 MacCentral reviews and benchmarks the new Intel iMacs released at Macworld Expo.MacCentral's tested both Universal applications as well as PowerPC applications on the new 2.0GHz Intel iMac and compared them to the 2.1GHz iMac G5. Of the Universal Applications tested, they focused on iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD, iSquint, BBEdit and Zip Archiving. In these native applications, the Intel iMac was up to 1.82x as fast. Average increase however was closer to 1.2-1.3x, with one test coming in slightly slower (.91x) than the G5 iMac. Meanwhile, PowerPC applications were tested using Rosetta emulation. They tested iTunes (PowerPC), Photoshop CS2 and Word. The tests showed the Intel iMac to be running .34-.48x as fast as the iMac G5. The performance penalty is expected due to the Rosetta emulation layer allowing PowerPC instructions to be run on the Intel processor. Source: MacRumors.com When they tested the PPC applications under Rosetta, they said the Intel iMac ran them .34-.48x as fast - does that mean faster or slower than the iMac G5's? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Slower, under rosetta... Honestly, if you don't use any pro apps or unported apps, there is no reason for you NOT to get an intel iMac besides the fact that it's the first revision...Other than that, this iMac screams my specs, with a video I made of my iMac booting up.iMac G5 40 sec start I salute you :) You keep care of your imac :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted January 19, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 19, 2006 So has there been any word from the makers of that video? We all know its fake or the iMac is messed up but have they confirmed or addressed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yup G5 definitly isn't working right. Pretty decent boot speed on the Intel iMac still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixated Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 That's just not right. My iBook runs circles around that G5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prz Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 that was probably the first boot after installing 10.4.4. All reboots from installing a .1 release are usually overly-long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
