First I note the line "right out of the box" which it obviously wasn't seeing that it defaulted to a desktop and not the initial settings prompt. Clearly there was something wrong with that g5 seeing that an Apple II could boot faster than that. I refer you to imac g5 v. imac intel part deux: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuNPA8IMmQM&search=imac%20intel%20mac%20apple%20g5%20core%20duo If you people believe for a second that that was a clean startup for the imac g5 you have all been fooled.

I have a feeling that's where most of the difference comes from. The real question is, was the G5 machine clean installed from scratch?

Regardless of how fast the Intel one did. One of the things that I dislike about Apple is the long start-up time for their OS. At university I once saw a girl booting up her Powerbook, she started talking to a friend besides her while I was doing some stuff on my laptop, I looked back when they stopped talking and it had just finished booting up. It easily took over 2 minutes to start. I was a bit sad to see how long the G5 took to boot up. Regardless of how fast the Intel one did.
