- iMac 27" 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, OS 10.6.8
Would the 3.6 GHz duo-core i5 with the turbo boost have as much processing power as the 2.8 GHz quad-core i5 without the turbo boost?
The reason I ask is because I do not like the glossy screen of the iMac and am looking to run a second monitor. I could get the 21" 3.2 GHz configured with the 3.6 GHz i5 for $1799 which is $300 less than the 27" quad-core i5. That money could be put toward another monitor but I don't want to sacrifice processing power for Lightroom and Photoshop. Any thoughts?
