[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1475412, member: 56379"] Here in the United States the difference in price between the "Late 2012" 21.5" iMac with the 2.7ghz and the 2.9ghz cpu is $200. Looking at the Geekbench 2.0 scores (32 bit & 64 bit modes): - 2.7ghz (8068 / 9145) - 2.9ghz (9506 / 10756) As you can see…the 2.9ghz scores approx 1400 points higher in 32 bit mode…and approx. 1600 points higher in 64 bit mode)…than the 2.7ghz model. To me this is a fairly sizable increase…and worth the extra $200 for the 2.9ghz cpu. Also realize that the 2.9ghz 21.5" iMac comes with slightly better graphics hardware. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
