[QUOTE="coaster, post: 967052, member: 95499"] If "price is no concern" I can't understand why someone would be debating which model iMac to buy..........if price is no concern then the MacPro is the obvious choice. ;) Now that I've got my shot out of the way, I concur with the advice to buy the most you can afford. For me, that choice was the fastest dual core, but I did upgrade the video card. If you're doing anything in 3D or animation I think it would be money well-spent. I don't think software needing four cores is going to be coming all that fast from the simple reason that there's little market for it yet, AND that market isn't going to develop all that fast.
