[QUOTE="jackcharles, post: 1025128, member: 148222"] I have been designing 2D games in Java for a while, and decided to get a new computer with a large screen and able to help me create 3D games. Currently that's all I have in mind. Occasionally I also create websites using photoshop/dreamweaver/flash. I am a Computer Science student at the end of my second of a four year course, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do when I graduate. I justified my purchase as I received a scholarship for my grades last year which easily covered the cost. First I bought the c2d version as I'm sure it will be completely suitable for my needs, but decided to order the i5 afterwards thinking about "future-proofing" my investment. There might come a time in the future when I would need the power offered by the quad core, but the c2d is definitely fast enough for me now. I thought that the extra £200 over 4+ years would be worth it, as you can't upgrade the hardware in imacs. I have organised a return for the c2d imac with apple, but no time has been set for them to collect it yet. [/QUOTE]
