Well I'm guessing that my ibook G4 won't stand a chance with the "Core Image" it has a AGP 32mb card not sure what the exact specs are though, but I don't think it will be powerful enough to run the core image, sadly it sounds like it could save a lot of time waiting while the processor catches up with itself lol
