youtube.com— In this video two iMacs with equal RAM are booted at the same time. One is a 2.1 Ghz G5, one is a 2.0Ghz Intel Core Duo.The Intel is on the left, the G5 is on the right.

There is definitely something wrong with the G5 iMac. Both my 700 Mhz G4 iMac and my 500 Mhz iBook start up much faster than that. The G5 shouldn't have been nearly that slow.BTW, the dual 2 Ghz G5 PowerMac I have at work boots up about as quickly as the Intel iMac in this video, if not a little faster. There's nothing remarkable about the startup time you see here.
"an obviously forged video with over 500 diggs. you apple zealots certainly are amusing. just couldnt scroll past a title with imac in it twice."Got you too I see. ;)
I own a iMac G5, be it a 1.8, and mine doesn't take that long to boot (about 22 secs from cold to desktop). There's something clearly wrong with the one in this video or the video is indeed bogus.

My 2 year old Windows XP box boots as fast as that new iMac. So what is all the big?
