- 17 inch 2 GHz C2D imac (5,1) with 3GB DDR2 RAM, X1600 (128MB memory) GPU - OSX 10.6.3
What's the difference between the i3 and the i5?
Apart from the clock speeds what's the real difference between the 2 cpus? Specifically I want to get the high end 21.5 inch imac. The 27 is just too big I think. Anyways for roughly $250 Australian I can upgrade the i3 dual core to an i5 dual core. And I just am asking is this $250 well spent? Or is it just not worth the money?
