Good morning all,
Looking at the latest iMac I notice that the 27-inch: 3.06GHz list
price is $2,199 and the 27-inch: 2.66GHz is $2,599 that is an extra
$300 for a seemingly slower machine. Have I missed something or is
2.66GHz quicker than 3.06GHz?
Regards,
Adrian
Hi Adrian
I believe the 'slower' machine has a quad core processor rather than
the dual core on the other one.

Hi again Adrian,
A good description and Video here shows how the Intel® Core™ i5
Processor functions.

Indeed the 2.66 is a core i5 quad core rather than a core 2 dual core
it can also be build with the core i7 as a custom build

The Turbo-boost feature of the quad-core Core i5 and i7 chips can shut
down unused cores and boost the clock speed of the remaining cores to
much faster clock speeds depending on usage:
The 2.66 GHz Core i5 has a Turbo Boost speed of up to 3.20 GHz
the 2.8 GHz Core i7 can go up to 3.46 GHz
One of the other cool new features with the 27 iMac I read, is that with
a third party cable (coming out soon), you can actually use the 27 iMac as
a monitor on another machine (as long as it has miniDisplayPort).
Can see that as being useful in some instances.
But yes, the new top of the range
2nd Hand iMac prices on ebay suggest I'd get about $1000 for my current
2.4Ghz iMac. So I just need another $1600... Right ho, the game begins.
I was thinking about the display(port) in feature. I think the
demographic it appeals to would be dorm room university students who
want to use the iMac
That's really cruel, Martin, sounds like sweated slave labour to me!
