Hello,

I need some expert advice.

I can buy a lightly used 3.06GHZ 24' 2009 model , core 2 duo v.s. an open box 21.5 Core I5 IMac ?


How are the 24's ?

Thanx.

I have a slightly older 24" Aluminium (first of its kind). It has performed great except now for college I need a powerhouse to really support my Visual graphics for use in the Adobe suite.

I would have to see the full specs before i could actually recommend one to you
Have you got the HDD, RAM, graphics details at hand?

And to steer you in the better direction for what purpose is this computer for? Graphic programs, games, casual(surfing web) etc. ?
