I'm going to have a seizure. Having Seizure, Please Wait. 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Done.

[ffuentese]

I thought that it would be a cruel comparison.

[minzhide]

Compare 'em to a 512k.

[kawaiifreak860]

That's nice.

Proof of the PPC architectures power, (and RISC in general).

Awesome just Awesome. It kept up with that Core 2 Duo.

Tho it'd beat it hands down if it was the Core 2 Duo OSX vs. imac 400mhz with YD linux. haha

@KayakServer I did it as a joke response to all the comparison videos out there.

[TalkToTheMac]

@KayakServer Go take an english class, and no one cares retard!

[TutorialsByKevin]

i give you 1$ if you smash both of them

[jsk14jeca]

Why even bother comparing the two? There's over 5 year age difference, of course the Macbook would win.

[electrotech555]

Who won? Haha

[78Boza]

nice

[MBP6705]

That iMac did really well, considering the fact that it shipped with Mac OS 9.

[mypassmark1]

I bought a G3 iMac (Bondi Blue) at a yard sale back in 2008. I timed it against my Santa Rosa Macbook (2.4GHz) and it only fell behind by 4.3 seconds. Considering the iMac is from 1999 and the Macbook is from 2007....yeah. Pretty decent ::)

[commandermente]

holy crap that imac's screen is like... fucked.

[ceccia97]

no,it's a camera fail

[raysfan1181]

it's the way the CRT monitors react to cameras and flourescent lights/lightbulbs

[GT5Enthusiast]

@raysfan1181 Actually it is because of the refresh rate of the monitor. If you drop the refresh rate down on a LCD to say 24hz then you filmed it with a 30FPS camera you would get the same results. If the refresh rate is lower that the camera recording this will happen.

[hvrock13]

haha dude, thats what happens with a CRT monitor when its filmed with a camera, its not like that in real life. flat panels dont have that problem when being filmed.

[techkid100]

Thats good for a iMac G3.

[mjakes20]

We have the slightly newer G3's in our school but they work perfectly with Mac OS Tiger the old version

[kasm279]

0:27 lost focus?

[6715243]

k my ipod touch 2g has more mhz than that

[CompsciWiz]

Ever heard of the MHz myth? Look it up. Bottom line, MHz doesn't matter especially when comparing two architectures (ARM and PPC).

[Jackmiles2006]

True. Mhz is not equal to Power.

[TheGeek1028]

Yeah, that's COMPLETELY fair!

[Dimitry1996]

what does the DV mean on the imac?

[camsayshi]

i agree because i have an iBook G3 that i got off eBay for $160 but it has Mac OS9 and Mac OS X Beta and its terrible

[poopooGarret]

A G3 (600Mhz 512 megs ram) beet my new macbook (2.4Ghz 4 gigs RAM) in a boot test with four macs; its kinda crazy how this shit works

[roboleg]

That is actually really impressive. I've got to say, the iMac G3 really isn't as bad as I remember...

Then again, the ones at my old school were used by, well, tons of people, so they would probably bog down...

[Btroisi13]

I know! My school iMac G3's are technically faster than my Pismo PowerBook G3, yet mine has more RAM and is actually Maintained properly :P

[kawaiifreak860]

yea lolz but sometimes old computers an macs can be faster in other areas tht new ones are slow in.

[thestonerboys]

my 400MHZ, 512MB mac starts up in 37 seconds. =p

[Btroisi13]

My iMac Aluminum 2 Ghz, 2 GB starts up in 50+ seconds =p

Wow I need a reinstall!

[mrlovespread2006]

omg you are not comparing a decade old computer to the macbook!!
