[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1170254, member: 56379"] Are you saying that your iMac's scores are similar to a 6-7 year-old Powermac G5?...if so that doesn't sound good. Different hard drives make different "noises"...and the computers housing may enhance or muffle the hard drives normal sounds...so it's sort of hard to say if what you're hearing is "normal" or abnormal"...without actually hearing it. Here's another link (below) that may help out with your iMac's performance & benchmarking info. The benchmarks were made using "Geekbench"...so compare your iMacs results against the same computer in the list: [url=http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/mac-benchmarks/]Mac Benchmarks[/url] As you can see...a 27" iMac i5 with a 2.8ghz cpu (4 cores) should be scoring 6735 with Geekbench....a Powermac G5 from 2004 scores only 2000-2200 (much slower than the 6735 your iMac should be scoring). Hopefully this will straighten things out. :) If your iMac is scoring significantly slower than it should...then maybe it's time to consider taking this iMac to the nearest Apple Store...and having them run some sort of diagnostic test...since I'm sure it's still covered under Applecare. - Nick [/QUOTE]
