Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Experience faster, more nimble application performance and improved energy efficiency with this 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor from Intel's 45nm Penryn lineup. The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--helps to reduce power consumption while delivering. powerful processing speeds. This 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor is aided by a 1066 front-side bus speed and a super-sized 6 MB L2 cache--both top-of-the-line for Intel's Penryn processors. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The Intel Core 2 Duo's 128-bit SSE3 vector engine handles 128-bit computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation by simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. And its two execution cores are designed to share resources and conserve power, helping it to achieve higher levels of performance since it uses fewer watts. Hard Drive and Memory The 250 GB Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. The 1 GB of PC6400 DDR2 RAM (one SO-DIMM) has an industry-leading 800 MHz speed, and the RAM capacity can be increased to 4 GB. Graphics and Video The 20-inch widescreen TFT active-matrix LCD offers a resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels. It has a brightness rating of 290 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), a contrast ratio of 800:1, and a viewing angle of 160 degrees (both horizontal and vertical). An ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics processor powers the iMac with 128 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory. It features some of the most advanced graphics technology available and delivers new levels of visual realism and a huge texture fill rate for smooth surfaces and complex character details. GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3) is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications. This iMac also enables you to connect a second display in either extended desktop mode or video mirroring mode. The mini-DVI port connects to DVI displays, VGA monitors and projectors, and S-video and composite devices using the appropriate adapter (sold separately). Wired and Wireless Connectivity

 Rating:  - Love it!!Apple iMac Desktop with 24-inch Display MB325LL/A (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive) This is my first Mac, I've always used PCs but have become frustrated with all the glitches related to running Microsoft OS so I decided to take the plunge and try out what Apple has to offer; so glad I did! This thing is awesome, especially since I can use Boot Camp to dual boot both Leopard OS and WinXP (for those software applications that aren't yet available for ... Read More Rating: - It's a Mac--What did you expect?A great desk-top machine! Everything I expected and more. No complaints. Included iWork would have been a nice touch. nmh Rating: - Better then expectedI purchased this iMac about a month ago and I have to say that is has exceeded my expectations, which were pretty high to begin with. My biggest concern was how glossy the screen would be as I have returned laptops in the past due to the glare. I am happy to say that while the screen is beautiful, the gloss is not a factor at all. Images are bright and clear but I do not see any reflections at all, be mindful though that if you place the system directly opposite an open window you will ... Read More Rating: - Glad I made the switch!I have been a PC user for over 10 years. I still use one at work but if I could chose I would ask for a mac here too. My 4 year old desk top was showing its age very well, although it got the job done. I thought a new computer would be nice, but I thought about what my needs and use are on the pc to determine if I should spend $1000+ for a new one. After reading about the iMac and its OS I thought it sounded like exactly what I wanted. With my pc I email, browse the web, manage my music collection, and ... Read More Rating: - Wish I had made the swith to Mac sooner...It took me about a week to get used to the differences between the Mac and the PC, but I learned everything fairly quickly without having to bust open some "Dummies" guide or instructions. Now that I am used to the Mac, I don't think I would ever switch back to a PC. Using a PC at work is frustratingly slow and difficult now. LOL The more I use my Mac and learn, the more I believe that the Mac's user interface is much more intuitive and user friendly than the PC's. Also, the setup straight out of the ...
