Outside the US, the new iMac 500 got the old G3 processor with a cache at 200MHz only and a 8 MB VRAM card against 16MB for the US/Canadian breed. For Europeans, the whole new line is assembled in the Czech republic. Where are made those sold in US/Canada?

WTF?!?!? 
This is the first I've heard of it!
ARGH.
How DARE they?
That is just totally OFF.
Does anyone not American/Canadian need less power or something?
They can't do that!
**** Apple Computer. Boycott! Assholes
AND FOR THE SAME FREAKING PRICE!
It costs MORE over here for LESS.
Same price after conversion (well ACTUALLY, still more after conversion!).
That is so off.
Apple just lost me. If they don't reconcile this IMMEDIATELY and never do it again, forget it.

This is what apple.com.au states:
512K backside level 2 cache at 160 MHz (400-MHz system); or 256K on-chip level 2 cache at full processor speed (500-MHz and 600-MHz systems).
ATI RAGE 128 Pro graphics accelerator with 8MB of SDRAM or ATI RAGE 128 Ultra graphics accelerator with 16MB of SDRAM; AGP 2X support.
Looks the same as the US spec. I think the ones we get in Australia are assembled in Singapore.

Chill, Cipher, please...
I don't know about the video board, but my take (from the MacNN story on the different chips being used) is that there isn't a (consistent) performance diff between the *old* and *new* processors.

Its false advertising nevertheless. Bad buisness. they need a course in professional ethics.

No fear! 
Compare this link: http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html (USA)
..against this one: http://www.apple.com/uk/imac/specs.html (UK)
Hei Steve! *SLAP* (And this is from all of us in Europe.. God damn!)
Cross my fingers for the first benchmarks results. The old chip shouldn't be slower, perhaps some faster, but the vram is another story.. and so is the prize.
