MacBook Pro versus hackintosh Acer Aspire 5920G---Episode II

[BubuSnow93]

My Ubuntu boots faster ;P

However, i'd like to have an Hackintosh, great OS with cheap good PC...

[digimikeh]

hmm. both are same speed enough good... just looks like the macbook loads desktop before log in,, and hackintosh loads desktop after .... nice race..

[somewhoo]

you can try enable 64bit kernel in Snow Leopard, or you alredy did?

They both seem relatively slow in my opinion, but it is interesting to see that the Hackintosh wins. I have that same laptop! (Acer Aspire 5920G!)

Hard Drives:

Aspire 5920G: ST9160820AS

Macbook Pro 13 inch: Hitachi HTS543216L9A300

Both of these spin at 5400 rpm, current 2.5 incher standard.

Only two methods that can make OS load faster are:

1. SSD (Relatively low capacity, but VERY EXPENSIVE!!!), the fastest possible.

2. Upgrade the HDD to a 7200 rpm model, more affordable than SSD, but at a price premium vs 5400 rpm.

What CPUs are the computers using?

[chayut1992]

As of 2009, All members of MacBook Family (Polycarbonate, Unibody, Pro, Air) use Intel Core 2 Duo.

In this 13-inch MacBook Pro, it has 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn) with 3MB L2 Cache

My Acer Aspire 5920G uses 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) with 4MB L2 Cache.

Both of these have 2 GB of RAM, with DDR2 in Acer, and DDR3 in Macbook Pro.

GPU: Acer uses GeForce 8600M GT, while Macbook Pro uses GeForce 9400M.

@AspireAS5920 yay they are pretty slow but you know how macs are

[procarbon93]

wow hackintosh win :-O

[chayut1992]

Now this hackintosh is upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (Re-format HDD). I bought a legal retail DVD from iStudio, Apple retailer, and I installed with guided instructions from Lifehacker.

MacBook Pro has 10.6.2 installed by upgrade method, and it seems slower than it used to in 10.5.8.
