As anticipated, the iMac lineup has been “refreshed” with new speed bumps, memory, and graphics cards. Sporting the latest and greatest Core 2 Duo Penryn processors, the new iMac models should be speedier and cooler than their predecessors.
Ranging from 2.4 GHz up to 3.06 GHz, the current lineup is priced at $ 1,199 to $2,199 respectively. Apple is still offering a 20-inch model and a 24-inch model.There are some configuration options as well. You can add up to 4GB or RAM, choose a 1TB Hard drive, and pick the latest NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB memory, which is the most powerful graphics ever available on the all-in-one desktop line.
