There has been some talk online about iMac Core Duo being
able to boot faster than the old iMac G5. A video posted on Web site YouTube showed the iMac Core
Duo booting faster. Then Apple enthusiast site Silver Mac posted test results showing that the iMac
G5 was actually not as bad. Curious, we ran our own boot-time test, comparing
this iMac Core Duo to the 2.1GHz iMac G5. Each system started from its
fresh-from-the-box disk image, then we updated all of the default software via
Apple's autoupdate tools. Under those conditions, we ran three clean boots and
stopped the clock when every component finished loading. The iMac G5 booted in
an average of 46.6 seconds. The iMac Core Duo came up in an impressive 25.7
seconds. Your mileage may vary based upon a number different configurations and
installed software, but conditions being as equal as they can be given
different chipset and operating systems, the iMac Core Duo has a clear edge in
this regard.
