[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1156066, member: 56379"] Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on all of the possible purchasing options.:) Forget about being "state of the art"!;) Take it from a 25 year Mac User...in 6-9 months the Mac you buy today will be yesterday's news. Same thing goes for the "quad-core" iMacs...they will be superseded by newer models with more advanced technology as well. If you REALLY want a quad-core iMac...then get one...and stop even looking at core-2-duo models!:) But in either case (core-2-duo or quad-core)...both will fit your needs very well. Just remember...iMac cpu's & gpu's cannot be upgraded...so buy as much as you can today! The decision comes down to (as it always has since personal computers have been available)...is how much money do you want to spend. Remember in 6 months...today's quad-core iMacs will be $200-$350 less than they are today. Decisions...decisions...;) - Nick p.s. Also remember that whatever new iMac you get...will be a lot better than your current "Dinosaur PC"!;) [/QUOTE]
