[QUOTE="mac57, post: 274661, member: 17052"] My guess would be that the iMac won't be updated any time soon. It has just received an update to Core 2 Duo. At this point, the member of the Mac line that has least recently been updated is the Mini. I expect to see a Core 2 Duo update here next, followed by an update to the Mac Pro, and then maybe an update to the iMac again, with many months separating each of these updates. To keep product positioning intact, Apple can't upgrade the iMac to say a 2.66 GHz C2D until they can upgrade the Mac Pro first. With the new Kentsfield chip now shipping, that may be the next thing for the Mac Pro, putting it a step ahead of the 2.66 GHz part most people buy in it now. Then the iMac could be upgraded to that part without damaging their relative positions in the Mac pecking order. That is my speculation. [/QUOTE]
