1GB on the iMacs is very, very silly though.

Very interested in these new iMacs despite my first iMac (20in G5) being a unmitigated disaster from start to ugly finish. I'll probably wait until October for Leopard, and any issues with these that need ironing out.

Motherfuckers! There is still a combo drive on the bottom end Mini!
Where the fuck are they buying such drives? DVD is nearly obsolete
and you still can't burn one on the cheap Mac.

The basic Mini is the Xbox 360 Core of the Mac world. It is there just to say you can get one for a cheap price.

Come off it, a combo drive in 2007 is taking the piss.

Probably have a load spare as no-one in their right mind would buy a Mini at the current prices.

Note: I bought a G4 Mini at the old prices.

So what's a Core 2 Extreme processor? Does it differ from a Core 2 Duo in any other way than being faster?

Quad core.

Very very tempting for no reason.

Due to a .Mac service upgrade, .Mac members are intermittently unable to access some .Mac services. We apologize for any inconvenience. Normal service will be restored ASAP.

.... hurrah 10GB is there!

That's not correct for the iMac.

"Extreme" is used for more than just quad cores. In this case it means
it's a higher clockspeed and TDP dual core mobile chip, i.e. A top of the
range Merom.

It's also used to signify high clockspeed desktops parts, both dual and quad
core.

Of course I don't want that. If I wanted that I'd buy that. Apple actually
deigning to use Intel's desktop parts isn't a crazy demand.
