Hi,

I think the 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor is an advantage. And I think you are right it would extended its useful life in the long run.

Hi,

It sounds like system performance is a issue for you. If so, I think you would be a lot happier with the performance of the new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo than a Mac Mini. Keep in mind though you...

Hi,

Unless you are feeling cramped by your current 17" screen, I would suggest the 17" Core 2 Duo. It's actually faster the 20" Core Duo. I suspect the very large 4GB cache on the Core 2 Duo is...

If you are not sold on the 17" you might consider the 20" iMac. I'm debating between the two myself. If you take the 17" and add a bigger hard drive and the faster processor to make it...
