[QUOTE="Archangele, post: 1068078, member: 152739"] Hi, I am running a duocore Intel iMac 27" and it is plenty fast with programs like Photoshop using large high resolution photos from my Pentax digital SLR. So far it has had no issues running any software I can load on it. The i5 is a faster cpu, but not that much more that you should notice a difference like,, it takes a minute to do an edit of a photo on the duocore mac as compared to the i5 taking a second. Like the other person who posted here said, a lot depends on the program. If the standard processor meets the requirements of the program then things will work fine. Another issue is the amount of ram you have installed. If the program will run with 2 gig, but suggests 4 gig for optimum performance, then the 4 gig of ram is probably the most important issue.. I have found that as long as you have more machine then the minimum required for the program, you are set. If you just have the minimum, then things will probably be slow. [/QUOTE]
