[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1170186, member: 56379"] Kind of hard what to say. That 2.8ghz 27" i5 iMac should be a real screamer...compared to your old Mac. My first thought is...why did you buy this new iMac?...what couldn't you do on your old iMac that you needed a new iMac? Second thought. Search the internet for a benchmarking program...like X-bench, Geekbench, or Cinebench: [url=http://www.xbench.com/]Xbench: Comprehensive Macintosh Benchmarking[/url] [url=http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/]Geekbench - Primate Labs[/url] [url=http://www.maxon.net/downloads/cinebench/cinebench-115.html]MAXON: CINEBENCH 11.5[/url] Run the benching program(s)...and then find results for other Macintosh computers similar to yours to see how the numbers compare. Check MacWorld review articles as well for comparisons. If the benchmarking numbers compare favorably...then your iMac is fine.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
