[QUOTE="Hemi4ever, post: 545730, member: 43317"] The unit is for 100 bucks with a 90 day warr. I've been looking at all the processors upgrades on OWC, mainly the 1.7 Ghz OWC model. I just worry about having to mess with the filmware update. I' m good at working on macs and am sure that I can handle change out the two units safely, I just thought that dual processors is better than single. I was also looking at the cache level the newer models have over the older ones. OWC states that they have 512k L2 and none on L3, Apple states 256K L2 and 2mb per processor L3. Just wondering which is better for the money. [/QUOTE]
