  • i think you should go and read about the UEFI and BIOS , the EFI(apple) booted after 2 seconns and the other took about 20sec , before it begain to read the windows files... its not about the CPU , the start-up is all about HDD and BIOS-speed , read alittle BIOS and UEFI but its nice video... Apple has EFI again

  • I mean unless Mac has something similar to a POST before Boot up, technically the BIOS post isn't the boot, so after post you can start timing it.

  • Technically I don't think the post for the BIOS should be counted. But eh... too each their own.

    HDD speed matters for boot up not CPU and RAM and System BUS lol.

  • @KeibearsProperty

    Well, HDD speed is like 80-90% of what matters for booting. RAM matters in the fact, if you have a lot of system processes and programs starting up they get loaded into RAM so I suppose RAM matters too for that.

  • so what os x beat mac you prob have a lot of shit in your start up and macs dont have a bios to slow you down

  • ur so biased.

  • @hammy6427

    Toward what?

  • Fucking loud ass fan

  • i love how he has Starcraft 2 as his wall paper

  • Try put a mac software on your windows PC. It will be faster than mac.

    But, there´s no way to denied, MAC`S ARE TEN TIMES BETTER THAN PC`S

  • my old celeron pc with 512mb of ram can beat those boot speeds

  • your windows computer is just as loud as my windows computer lol. and it has the same sounding bios beep

  • my PC (HP Pavilion) takes 5 minutes to boot.

  • nice vid

  • "Mac vs PC"

    NO DIPSHIT

    Its

    Mac vs Windows

    Pc≠Windows

    Fuckin dumbasses

  • Thats true. The hardware is PC though. So technically it would be right. This is a very old video though.

  • "So technically it would be right."

    No, you obviously don't understand how to do an accurate comparison.

    If you were wanting to test hardware, then you would have to have both of them running the same os.

    If you are wanting to test the os, then you would need for both to have the same hardware.

    Opposed to what you had, which was one running win using different hardware than the one running mac. This means the test is flawed on both counts.

  • Listen buddy. It was a stupid boring challenge to begin with.  Bootup time is not the only or most important factor. I am no pro mac or a huge mac guy. This was just a dumb challenge. You can take your laptop or desktop and respond with your bootup time if you want. Macs are notorious though for their quick boot. Although my current computers boot a lot faster then my old ones did. To be fair it would have to be a completely clean install.

  • "Macs are notorious though for their quick boot"

    Which from what I've heard, win 7 is catching up to.

    "To be fair it would have to be a completely clean install."

    Yeah, I agree, then again as you said, this was just a stupid boring challenge. Thus why I'm not really taking it that seriously, I was just posting it so if you didn't know good test conditions, and wanted to do another test, you could be more accurate.

    But I doubt you want to...

    Take care

    Peace...

  • well my new system boots way faster. I should post it as a challenge to myself. but its all good.

  • A bit of a side note, i find bios to be a very nostalgic thing. :D

    Also, I'm curious, are you a warhammer 40k fan?

    Your desktop image makes me think you are.

  • @zoulkyud

    I agree, it would need to be a complete fresh version of both OS's and you would want the hardware to be as close as possible for a good experiment.

  • @TheReasonWhyGuy

    Calm down dipshit where have you been living? under a freaking rock all your computer life?

    PC's are just known as Windows machines, no need to get fired up because he didnt name the video Mac Vs Windows.

  • Clearly a biased analysis. This holds no real scientific value. If you want an accurate test, you need to use the same hardware, and you need to boot from a clean install. If you're running AV or other software that needs to run at boot time, it's gonna take time to start services. You also need a timer, not just a finish line, and you need to run the test multiple times. This is not science, it's not even a fair evaluation.

  • I am no ms fanboy. I was just mentioning that it's not an accurate comparison. The PC was much more powerful than the laptop. I was simply mentioning that it's not an accurate comparison.

  • Its bootup time. All bootup time is a flawed comparison, then again anything else I compare is also a flawed comparison because its not on the exact same hardware.

  • Apple fanboy logic here... seriously? LOL

    Slow boot time =/= slow performing PC...

    Given the specs you were throwing out, It beats the high end Macs by a far and away margin, and how much did you pay? Antivrus and maintenance costs don't count, and you know it. It's called, pirated software and good computing habits. :)

  • I am no apple fanboy. I was just showing bootup time. The PC was much more powerful than the laptop. I was simply showing bootup time.

  • Sure, I'm not stopping you from posting videos.

    I'm just stating that it's a flawed comparison. That means the difference you observed holds no intellectual value.

  • Does this mean that I can access my gay porn faster on a Mac?

  • I think they're optimized for that.

  • I was under the impression that the amount of RAM wasn't affecting boot up speed at any real noticeable level.

    When I went from 2 to 4G's (800Mhz FBS) of RAM in my laptop, boot up was pretty much the same, slightly faster after pressing the login button though.

    If I'm not mistaken, the more RAM you have, the longer it takes because the BIOS checks the RAM each time you boot up.

    I know HDD's play the biggest role in boot times.

  • that is the loudest computer ever!!

  • 80mm fans, my new computer has 120mm fans.

  • your case does not look like a mac pro

  • Thats my old case.

  • 2 screens vs a 17" laptop? :s a bit unfair dude

  • monitors have nothing to do with performance this statment is complelty retarded

  • narp :) graphic cards load slower bcause of higher res

  • monitor size doesn't matter idiot.

  • Why would you put an Apple Logo on a PC. That's so try hard, no offense. Plus that fucking PC sounds like chewbacca taking a shit.

    What's you iChat? It would be good having a discussion with you,

  • Its my old case, it was much noisier.

  • Oh okay.

  • my username is zoulkyud

  • Once you put an apple sticker on it, you can run OSX on it with no legal consequence, lol.

  • You have your BIOS setup to check for a disc to boot too before going to the bootup screen that took a good 5 seconds long. It wasn't the BIOS that slowed it was you when you set the BIOS to boot to disc when booted.

  • My crapload of startup items on windows didn't help it either, but we got a lot of reference boots. Which was my goal anyway. Look at all the video responses.

  • its already proved that win 7 is slower than snow leopard

  • hmm and how do you know that? WIN7 is not out yet. Also Windows 7 RC beats Mac OSX 10 in the speed category. I'm sure you can find vids of ppl comparing boot times with a crappy laptop with a "good"macbook.

  • try booting it with win 7...

  • that pc could be slow and old so the bootup time wouldn't be fair with that of the mac . although i am a mac user

  • At the time they were pretty even hardware wise in terms of the age of the technology. So the the test was pretty fair.

  • that's a pretty old macbook, so it's not much of comparison

  • yeah and it is a pretty old desktop too, they were both old. It was a silly test, get over it.

  • i should say the mac is slow, my sisters macbook pro starts up MUCH faster dude

  • Stupid test..its not even the same system..

  • actually that was probably the fastest pc boot up ive seen. if not, lets see ur pc boot up, i want proof

  • awesome u got a sc2 logo on ur mac!!

  • my laptop boots faster than that and it dual boots with Vista and Fedora, it has to go through bios, grub and then the vista load, and it's still faster than your pc.

  • hahaha

    i like the commentary. Oh well, I don't think Boot up speeds matter all that much, as long as it doesn't take like 15 minutes

    3 seconds? pretty insignificant =/

  • no the vista is very fast i did a video of my xp vs my dads vista and my xp left it in the dust lol

  • Nice Vid! I got an ASUS Motherboard, and a fan just like yours! It seems that mine is the exact same as yours, except the casing!

    Please view my video!

  • why do u hav 8 GB of RAM Windows can only use 3.2 GB, unless u got 64 bit windows??? well du u

  • well, 1. Actually Win 32Bit can use up to 3.5 (So can Ubuntu 32Bit) 2. Yes, he probs does have vista 64.

  • Mac FTW

  • All mac actually do have a bios. All computers must have one. Apple just hides it so the user can not tinker with it. I have heard of ways around it though so you can overclock lets say a Mac Pro.

  • Nope. They use EFI.

  • Dont let bios fuck u up XD

  • A omputer with more programs of certain size will take longer to boot up.

  • If they made bios better the quad would of panned the mac's ass :) the mac doesnt have a "bios" as such u cant go into the settings and mess with oh well :)

    i have both so i like both woooo

    kev

  • woohoo mac won :D

    but anyways man quad-core and 8 gigs of ram..damn i would proud to hav that kind of pc man. The pC lost but still quad core man. Nice vid

  • Does the macbook work as a cell phone?

  • オイ遅いなぁウィンドウズ

  • I have actually installed OSX on my 64 bit AMD machine (designed for intel) and Vista ultimate and OSX is much faster in every single respect. same hardware massive difference in performance.

  • Your MacBook takes so long to start up! That aside this is no where near a scientific test is it.

  • I would have to start with completely clean systems to be fair.

  • lol I'm not going to ask you to do that just to see which one boots first :), apart from that though it was a good demonstration.

  • Oh Mac boots faster? Well I better switch to OSX and play Crysis(among other games) and run Quadfire on OSX instead. Oh wait. What? I can't? But OSX boots faster. How can that be? Also, can I overclock an apple so I can take advantage of my Liquid cooling? I don't know that answer. But I'm sure it would be pretty hard to accomplish on a Mac. Even though OSX boots faster. And just to let you know. My PC boots faster then your Mac. Which means NOTHING for Windows or Mac. lol

  • god...pc guys always hav to use the no game issue on macs. MACS HAVE GAMES NOW SO SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT IT. And if ur pc boots faster than a mac..prove it make a test and post it on utube

  • You are a god damn moron. I have both PC's and Mac's. Yes Mac's have way more games then they used to since they switched to intel. But it doesn't address me being able to play crysis, or overclocking or quadfire. I plan on making a legit test that you speak of. I will boot up Mac OS X and then Vista on the same machine. A much better test. You're just an idiot Mac fanboy. Much like the guy who made this video. So go fuck yourself dumb ass fanboy.

  • Okay try to chill a little maybe with the anger? lol Well to the video maker... your PC is actually very slow I gotta say.

  • Nerd rage!!!! lol

  • Plus, faster hardware meaning what? Just the quad core processor? How about speed of the hard drive (important for a fast startup)?

  • you haven't configured the BIOS correctly if it is prompting you to press any key.

    It's just you seem to be talking like a bit of a hardware n00b. I'm sure you are not, but why do you really have THOSE specs in such an unpimped rig?

    Yes, we get it Vista is arguably the slowest, most bloated OS ever created.

    But, macs are just PC's with a commercialized UNIX distro, not Gods.

    And, I run both 10.5 & XP on my 24" 2.8 C2D

  • Faster startup just means that it loads less stuff. Simply, the Mac loads less features than Vista.

  • I call BS :)

    nice subtle slip of the word features...

    but no.

    whilst this guy is a weirdo talking to his comps, and i seriously doubt he has the Desktop hardware he claims...

    Vista did not create more productivity, while there are more applications, it is too slow compared to XP.

  • I've got to admit, windows start up isn't as bad as everyone says. My HP PC running Windows vista Home Premium with 2.2Ghz processor and 2GB ram takes about 30-45 seconds to start up. 1 minute at the absolute maximum.

  • this is funny in a sad way. Fanboys fighting over wich one is better. Stick to what you like and keep it to yourself is what i would like to say but this videos are intertaining to watch. so thankyou for your pathetic lifes.

  • Oh Dear PC... Oh Dear

  • I agree, Windows starts up slow. My HP laptop with XP takes a while (but it only has 512 MB of RAM and a 1.8GHz single core), but pit Mac vs. Linux. Even a low power computer (my laptop for example) will boot Ubuntu or Sabayon Linux in no time.

  • Some people like to customize their PC's, other people work with Macs comfortably, and have time left for other things.

  • the alienware I'm typing on starts in less then 30 seconds

  • "Boot Up Challenge" Uselesss, I have no idea what you are running on your Windows Vista, but surprisingly I can make my AMD Dual Core 2.8GHZ processer boot up two times faster on Vista 32bit... than you can on both of those machines lol and yes that is including "Bios"

    So... *Amused*

  • lol, your boot up settings are not setup right, you don't have quick boot on. in most Bios there is an option for fast boot. The alienwere I'm using boots faster then that. of course I only have 28 processes running, and XP pro.

    Vista is also slow because it's a resource hog.

    did you defragment the hard drives and delete all the temp files on the pc before this video, and how many things are in your system tray, how many running processes do you have on boot up? 80?

  • Defrag, Fastboot, Vista Sucks, system tray, running processes, Sounds like a lot of problems, I just have to click on my power button to start my computer. starts up in about 40 seconds.

  • 'thats my cell phone, piece of crap.' lmao

  • your shouting at it that its got quad cores. im assuming you have Vista 32 bit which practicaly invalidates 50% of your Clock cycles an 4.5gb of you ram. this comes about because 64 bit processors require a 64bit system to address the avaliable clock cycles. and the extra ram. nice PC + Mac either way.

  • I have 8gb of ram, and vista 64bit. Not 32bit. If I had 32 bit I would have 3gb of ram

  • only passing comment on what 90% of people think both very nice systems

  • 32 bit, invalidates, Clock, 4.5gb of you ram, address, extra ram MY ASS. I can click on my power button and my iMac is ready in 40 Seconds. No Clock speeds, no Ram hogs, no other Bullshit. 40 seconds and Skype, Internet, Photoshop, iLife, here I come.

  • uh right all i got from that was that you like Macs an if you understood the slightest thing about what was sai you would realise that a 64bit processors on a 32bit operating system means 50% is in valid the same goes for Ram

  • Not "like Macs" but Use It as a computer, a PC is something that takes up peoples time. Building, upgrading etc. all that is a waste of time. Why must I do something like that if I need to do work. I just Need a good solid, quiet Computer with a good OS which in my experience is a Mac.

    - "64bit processors on a 32bit..." You are probably thinking that you are the smarter person just because you said that. I'm not really In to Heavy Tech stuff, But I do have a Good brain and good intuition though.

  • uh right i looked into that for like 5 minutes i dont think im faster i think im just naturaly gifte when it coems to computers. whereas im hopeless when it comes to other things secondly a good PC can boot up in around 40seconds and wont need upgrading or extra building for several years all you need to do is look after it.

  • "all you need to do is look after it." is another problem.

  • LOL

  • mac is good but PC WAS SO CLOSE! BOTH COMPANYS ARE GOOD!

  • PC isn't a company... retard

  • i dont care a pc is a pc it doesn't matter

  • WTF!

    Ur a fucking fucktard you dont know fucking english sort ur life out you piece of shit

  • sort your own f*cking life asshole!!!

  • Well don't call yourself 'ComputerKid' when you are obviously too retarded to know that PC isn't a company.

    It stands for Personal Computer.

    Mac stands for Macintosh and is not a company either.. it is owned by Apple.

    I think that when you say PC you are thinking of Windows - which is owned by the company Microsoft.

    Now go to school, you prick!!

  • lololoo..

  • lol, he doesn't know a mac is a PC. Microsoft also owns the X-box, which kicks ass on any mac, do to this one simple fact, the price is cheap, I looked up a mac laptop on newegg the other day, the cheapest one is still over $1000 US Dollars, and it gets way too hot, only has a gig of ram which is not enough according to the people who reviewed it, and they said osx sucks, one guy had it crash everyday when he checked his email with safari.

    MACS SUCK!

  • Ok, You have way too much time on your hands to get into an argument that had nothing to do with you so:

    Firstly shut the fuck up, I hope your mother gets caner of the eyes.

    Secondly of course some mac products are not great, but you forget that PC's aren't made by one company but thousands of different ones and to be fair mac does hold its own.

    iMacs are fucking excellent and really show up most PC's.

    So mac doesn't 'SUCK', you suck!

    Fucking Prick!

  • lmao, macs don't have ddr3 yet, and they are slow, crash, cost way too much, plus they are ugly as fuck, so plain and cheaply made.

    Nothing beats a custom built PC!

    Suck on them apples!

  • What you just said was complete bullshit.

    Macs are all made by the same company and thats why everything works. They are not fucking slow... are you an idiot or something?

    They are pronoun for 'NOT' crashing.

    And they are much more attractive then a fucking brick machine with shit loads of places.

    Shut up you cunt.

  • I just built a new computer. Here's the specs:

    Q9450 2.66ghz at 1333fsb, 4gigs of ddr3 at 2000fsb, a 750gig sata 300 with 32mb cache, evga 9800gx2 superclocked edition, evga 790i motherboard, pci express sound blaster X-Fi Titanium fatality, cooler master cosmos 1000 full tower, and the ultra ChillTec thermal electric cooler keeps the cpu between 26 and 36 C, and a 1000 watt ultra X3 modular power supply, with vista 64 bit ultimate.

    I'll post a video of it soon, only $3100 US dollars total cost

  • Okgood for you, go and buy that computer... I actually have a life now so I am going out to get wasted with some girls and ma mate.

    You can sit there and be a little faggot.

    Byeee

  • LMFAO, Have fun with them whores.

    Getting wasted with a couple girls and a buddy sounds gay to me, what's the matter? You can't handle a couple girls on your own? You need your boyfriend to hold your hand?

    Stupid fool!

  • Bloody Pervert shitfuck Idiot. Shut the Fuck up. You Are Globally IDIOT, Every single thing about you is UGLY.

  • PC Suck.

  • LOL! PC A COMPANY DEAR GOD. See what type of ppl mac is breeding.

  • Are you a retard as well?

    Of course PC isn't 'a company'!

    PC stands for Personal Computer!

    Fucking spastic!

  • Macs are awesome

  • lol, i heard skype

  • LOL, thats kind of funny because your pc is a piece of shit. Have fun.

  • 8gb!!! !!! fun!!!

  • Haha "that's my mobile phone, peice of crap"

  • hey, ever seen a 2Xquad core with 16GB's!!

    how fun

  • your vista has aids

    enjoy

  • Sorry aids does not exist for computers. Thanks for your negative comment.

  • all vistas have aids, thank you for taking the time to read my comment and respond

  • my gameing pc strats up really fast you just gotter rember when you have more stuff to load no matter what you have in the pc or mac its going to take loinger its goter read the hard drive and load every think in it a beter test would be to load up both with only the stuff that come with it when you 1st buy it now i cant do it myself coz i dont have a mac and i dont thnk i ever will coz i love my gameing SORRY FOR SPELLING ITS 4AM

  • its the time to windows actually starting that is letting the desktop down. The desktop PC could have all sorts of crap attached to the board and the bios needs to work this out. The Macbook knows what's in the hardware. Most notebooks get to actually booting the PC quicker than a desktop.

  • Hmm... I believe it. My vista took forever to boot up. So I dumped it for Linux. I would buy a mac but I don't have the money :'(

  • Ur pc must suck, cuz my vista boots up in under 15 secs.

  • Idiot. 1gb of ram is the amount that microsoft RECOMMENDS. I have 2gb of ram and vista was still shit. VISTA IS SHIT! You have to overkill just to match ubuntu on an old 256 mb of ram computer.

  • I agree, ubuntu does run faster. Wayyy faster. But I can play games on my Ubuntu without spending alot of time to get it to work. I just wanna get stuff done quick so I use Vista cuz it can do everything I need it to and I have had no problems with it. But i do agree Linux is much faster, but for me its not as practical.

  • lol typo there, I can't* play games on my ubuntu without spending...

  • "stfu u fagg u no nothing about windows and u running against xp makes no snes hey pal make some money get vista ultimate then try it u piece"

    That is not even a sentence, what are you trying to say?

  • Plzhelpma190, more like Vista is an "Ultimate" P.O S. and you should "make some money" and then buy a Mac with OS X, the best OS in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yep, it's a simple OS for simple people.

  • i bet if the pc had been XP i would have won.

  • YOU would have won?

    Don't think so...

  • hehe yeah as you might have guessed i missed a t as in "it"

  • Xp? Vista boot's faster

  • You must have a really good job because you have some really really really nice, probably expensive computers

  • yaaaa sc 2

  • I had no doubt that the Macbook would beat the PC. If you were running Windows XP on your desktop machine, it would had been very close. Vista is garbage unfortunately.

  • Its runs just fine for me. Likely the boot up time has to do with a few bios settings.

  • Your bios isreally messed up, my Gateway ML6230 with 2GB of memory can boot just as fast or faster than your mac book pro

    its all in the optimization, i have my computer fully optimized, and it runs like its worth 3 times as much as I got it for. I bought the computer for $370, lmao, how much did you spend on your mac book?

  • Windows is a bit takes faster hardware to boot up fast, It is a very powerful OS. That is 1 hell of a bios though, I have a single core intel celeron prossesor wit 1 gig ram and my computer could boot about as fast as that macbook, but only $600 excluding microsoft office 2007 home and student i think it's called. I'm very proud of it because when my mom is using her extreamly more expensive macbook my dell is always the faster, more comfortable, and more reliable one.

  • But in the end that Mac will not run Crysis or 3DS Mac any faster and in all fairness, that's all what counts hehe

  • 66oc, Crysis can run on Boot Camp on a Mac.

  • Mac is just a better version of notebook.

    Why not just buy an Pc instead? its much more powerful and you can upgrade it however you want.

  • Windows is better still.

  • that pc is blazing loud!

  • I got a new case. Go watch that video.  Its completely silent.

  • Is the PC 64 bit?

  • Yes. I will be redoing the test. SP1 and a faster clock increase the boot speed substantially. Now the PC has efi too.

  • ahahahaha... dont let mac beat you... you have quad cores...uhh OHHHHH!!!

  • Oh but now both have EFI. The battle has began!

  • i dont consider it being faster os because it can boot faster its what it can do inside and how it runs. regardless who cares i never need to wait i just walk out of the room and do somthing and come back and BAm its there

  • Wow you desktop is very loud, 3 seconds behind, But you have a desktop vs. laptop, ok get a win. laptop and try again.

  • LOL. This didnt really prove anything. I will be getting a new cases as of today. So my desktop should be a lot more quiet.

  • of course mac wins. it is the best.

  • you are talking to your pc's operating systems....RETARD !!

    lol

  • I try to encourage them.

  • so what?

  • meh? I just felt like doing it. Bootup time is not everything. As I stated they were both very similar in bootup. It I disabled the pata driver it would probably boot faster. I might tweak windows (which I cannot do with the mac) and bot again.

  • What kind of quad core do you have in the desktop? Intel?

  • q6600
