I'm on an iMac G5 right now! And it is NOT that slow at starting up. The black screen does NOT sit that long and the white one with the apple shows for only seconds. I was wondering if THAT one ever would! I'm running on a fresh installation of Leopard, and I have many large games and apps installed and many programs that run in the background on startup (like dropbox and skype) so this is a poor representation.
my goodness domething is seriously wrong with the imac g5 i mean i understand the intel at 45 secs but the g5 shouldn't take a minute and forty-five seconds to start up. my ibook starts up in about 1 minute to 1 minute 10 seconds and its running leopard but really an imac g5 shouldn't take that long
@trainrider110 indeed, my iMac G5 on Leopard takes about 50 seconds to boot up and display the dock. Heck even my 1 GHz PowerBook G4 boots Tiger in about 40 seconds.

like many people have already said that something is wrong..cause I have a g4 mac and it boots and the desktop comes up real fast..so I think that Mac there had an issue
G5 on the iMac was such a fail cause of bad capacitors andit was so slow it rocked in the Power Mac G5 tho otherwise known as the tower but those had WC problems not all models tho i still want a imac G5 though
That one on the right must be somehow screwed up or purposely downgraded in some way. I have a Power Macintosh 6100 with a Sonnet G4 upgrade and it boots Mac OS 8.6 much faster than that left one. Note: Mac OS 8.6 was the first ever OS used for the G4 processor. It takes only 7 seconds from power on to desktop. Mac OS 9 took 13 seconds. My iMac G5 RevA takes less than half the time than the right one did.
@Carbonized433 Actually you are 100% wrong. Because the 3rd and final version of the imac g5 does have and isight and front row. Please research before you state inaccurate facts.
Does it really matter? lol the iMac G5 is a good computer regardless its just older and has a single core processor. I just don't see why this is so shocking it only took the g5 a little over a minute. But i guess some people just need/crave the newest and fastest thing out there.
Simple minded apple fags refuse to believe an Intel processor is way faster. NEWS FLASH. G5 IS OLD TECHNOLOGY. Why do you think they switched to Intel?
How many programs run on startup for the G5? How much ram do they both have? What is the clock speed for both of them, comparing a 1.8ghz G5 to a 2.4ghz Intel Mac isn't fair. Whats the hard drive speed on the G5? Graphics cards? The lack of information makes this comparison UTTER SHIT, and should not be taken the least bit seriously.
There is something wrong with the g5 mac you show, i have just done this test and my g5 boots slightly faster than my intel imac....very little in it but my g5 has a new 500gb harddrive fitted.
yeah but the isight g5 might be packed with software cause mine takes a while to boot cause i have so many programs and stuff on the ahrddrive compiared to my powerbook with nothing on it booting way faster
iSight G5? My 4 year old iBook G4 1.2 GHz, 512 MB RAM, running Tiger 10.4.11 boots faster than that G5, and that's saying a LOT. Jeez, that thing took like 5 seconds to turn on the backlight and it hung FOREVER at the grey apple. Mine seems like it takes a while at the grey apple, but then there's no loading time for the "Starting Mac OS X" screen, it just flashes, then disappears.
Leopards alot more complicated than Tiger though , I used both Os's on the same Macbook and the Tiger was faster but again iMacs G5's were made for Tiger and Intels were made for Leopard ,
PowerPC does not suck but is unfortunately a victim of anaemic development and neither Freescale/Motorola nor IBM can compete with Intel's development speeds really.
But this video is quite extraordinary, I've never seen a Mac take that long to boot. My PowerMac G5 boots about as fast as the Intel on the left. If the iMac G5 really does always boot that slow it really must be proper turd...
well at a point in time ppcs were way lower speeds than intel but beat them out but that was with all there horrible processors up and lastly to the p4, (mhz myth)
I noticed something. I have a first generation G5 1.8ghz 20" and a second generation (isight) G5 1.9Ghz 17". So i noticed that the 20" is faster booting. The second generation needs a lot of time for the initialization.
I think i gonna make a movie like this whit both my iMac's :P
my ibook g4 boots faster than my aunts aluminum imac. i think you get more for the money with powerpc than intel. same true with my mothers 2.33ghz dell. my 1.42ghz ibook is way faster than that. pathetic.
i have been running vista on my intel imac for months.
it even updates with no problems at all. the downside is that it wont let me reboot os x tiger on it. the reason i ended up running vista on it is because lost installation disk & have downloaded endless tiger restore disk & so far none have worked. any 1 got any ideas . much appreciated.
yah, that guy below me is right, something is definately wrong with the g5.. i just booted my 1.9ghz g5 powerpc to your video, and it was only around a 10-20 sec. difference. i'm not biased, because i own a 24" intel as well. i know it's reasonably faster, but not that much
I'm with you, my G3 400Mhz tower boots faster than the one on the right, there must be something wrong. I'm not saying it will beat a dual core, but it's not like that one on the right
i think that guy in the background who's saying that his dual core G5 boots faster needs to realize that intel is better then power pc... i hope that all mac fans who think that ppc is better then intel have opened there eyes by this point.
Why? the ppc can handle more memory than most 64 bit systems, It also handles office tasks faster and the only reason mac switched to intel was to run windows, which sucks anyway. From this we can assume ppc - AWSSOMEEE! intel - lol
not true. the only reason apple switched to intel is because the G5 uses too much power. search around on YouTube and find that video where Jobs announces the switch to intel. They'll explain everything.
Jobs could say eliphants could fly and people would throw them of buildings, regardless the PPC is by far the better chipset, that and a lot of servers use the PPC chip still, just because of the memory (Flash, RAM, HDD) compatability. On top of that most Linux based companies still use the ppc for similar reasons.
look all i know is that my intel MacBook is a hell of a lot faster then my friends iBook G4. Im not sure about the G5 because i don't know anyone who has one. but i mean there is a video on youtube thats ^^^^^^^ right up there that shows how fast the G5 is.
That video "^^^^^^^" right up there is between a 3 year old G5 and a brand new intel. The guy during the vidio even says "Well thats not fair" that and my old G4, which i keep clean and do checks about once every 3 months still outperforms my dads 2gig intel duo machine. Ive even got a "New World" machine running Ubuntu and its by far one of the fastest at my workplace all on a ppc chipset.
No, they switched to intel because Intel got their act together and created a great cpu. It runs much more efficiently and performs tons better. Instead of assuming things, how about you go read up about it and check out some benchmarks. Intels new processors are great, I was shocked as well to find Intel finally making great processors.
I ran benchmarks with my 2.4ghz Q6600 Core 2 Quad against a 2.6 ghz G5 Quad Mac Pro, and my Intel scored much higher, it was a big difference.
Hi, dual core will always be faster than single core. When will people learn that PowerPC was 128Bit whereas idiots at Intel are still working on 64Bit? Dual G5's with lower clock-speed will kill any dual-core Intel outright. Learn your computer architecture please.
I've seen a 900MHz G4 iBook kill a 2GHz Pentium 4 Vaio desktop. Know why? They were both single-core processors.
i know that, but the g5 is a dual core processor (at least it is in the mac pro, im not sure about the imac) and so is the intel in this imac. they're both dual cores.
i still prefer the G-series PPC chips over the intels. The PPC architecture is still used in servers, clusters, and supercomputers, most notably by IBM... there must be a reason.
the PPC arch. is alos used in the PS3, and Xbox For the cpu. (wii is prolly some type of ARM or something) I am not a fanboy or a hater, but PPC 4 Ever! Nice vid... but i don't think the experiment was set up using the full scientific method to prove validity.
Did they have the same clockspeed? Ram? HDD speed?
My imac g5 1st gen (without camera and powerpc processor) takes 60sec to startup.

My imac G5 is an older model than that one and it boots a lot faster than that one. Something wrong there.

Umm dude my G3 iMac boots up faster than that G5...somethin isn't right.

I'm with you, my G3 400Mhz tower boots faster than the one on the right, there must be something wrong. I'm not saying it will beat a dual core, but it's not like that one on the right

i think that guy in the background who's saying that his dual core G5 boots faster needs to realize that intel is better then power pc... i hope that all mac fans who think that ppc is better then intel have opened there eyes by this point.

Why? the ppc can handle more memory than most 64 bit systems, It also handles office tasks faster and the only reason mac switched to intel was to run windows, which sucks anyway. From this we can assume ppc - AWSSOMEEE! intel - lol

not true. the only reason apple switched to intel is because the G5 uses too much power. search around on YouTube and find that video where Jobs announces the switch to intel. They'll explain everything.
matt452 3 years ago
Jobs could say eliphants could fly and people would throw them of buildings, regardless the PPC is by far the better chipset, that and a lot of servers use the PPC chip still, just because of the memory (Flash, RAM, HDD) compatability. On top of that most Linux based companies still use the ppc for similar reasons.

look all i know is that my intel MacBook is a hell of a lot faster then my friends iBook G4. Im not sure about the G5 because i don't know anyone who has one. but i mean there is a video on youtube thats ^^^^^^^ right up there that shows how fast the G5 is.
matt452 3 years ago
That video "^^^^^^^" right up there is between a 3 year old G5 and a brand new intel. The guy during the vidio even says "Well thats not fair" that and my old G4, which i keep clean and do checks about once every 3 months still outperforms my dads 2gig intel duo machine. Ive even got a "New World" machine running Ubuntu and its by far one of the fastest at my workplace all on a ppc chipset.

No, they switched to intel because Intel got their act together and created a great cpu. It runs much more efficiently and performs tons better. Instead of assuming things, how about you go read up about it and check out some benchmarks. Intels new processors are great, I was shocked as well to find Intel finally making great processors.
I ran benchmarks with my 2.4ghz Q6600 Core 2 Quad against a 2.6 ghz G5 Quad Mac Pro, and my Intel scored much higher, it was a big difference.

Hi, dual core will always be faster than single core. When will people learn that PowerPC was 128Bit whereas idiots at Intel are still working on 64Bit? Dual G5's with lower clock-speed will kill any dual-core Intel outright. Learn your computer architecture please.
I've seen a 900MHz G4 iBook kill a 2GHz Pentium 4 Vaio desktop. Know why? They were both single-core processors.

i know that, but the g5 is a dual core processor (at least it is in the mac pro, im not sure about the imac) and so is the intel in this imac. they're both dual cores.

Imac has duel core 2.8 ghz mac pro has 8 core 3.2 ghz.

yea i made a mistake in there somewhere... i honestly dont remember my thought process that day.
matt452 3 years ago
I thought the number of bits defined how it saved data types on the RAM? and how fast it did so

i still prefer the G-series PPC chips over the intels. The PPC architecture is still used in servers, clusters, and supercomputers, most notably by IBM... there must be a reason.
the PPC arch. is alos used in the PS3, and Xbox For the cpu. (wii is prolly some type of ARM or something) I am not a fanboy or a hater, but PPC 4 Ever! Nice vid... but i don't think the experiment was set up using the full scientific method to prove validity.
Did they have the same clockspeed? Ram? HDD speed?
