Won't the Radeon HD 4850 run a bit hot and loud for an iMac? Or is this a mobile version?
And is there any reason why if I configure the 2.93GHz iMac to the same specs as the 3.06GHz it would costs an extra 20 quid??! I'm trying to squeeze off a few pennies with a smaller HDD, but it hardly seems worth it.

Well, finally. The mini has been released from the limbo Apple has been keeping it in. Nice to see that it's a viable option again.
Hey sambo don't let these guys get you down man, they have some right in what they are saying but you got it right to get rid of god awful windoze and never look back. Good riddance.
I was wondering this same thing, but on Apple's support page for the Airport Extreme it still claims that if you network in a a/b/or g computer, the speed of other n-networked computers will still suffer... I am confused, I thought dual-band was going to fix that?
I am very disappointed with the new iMac!
$1500 for integrated graphics! Are you flippin' kidding me Apple? Come one. What a joke.
A GT 120 is just a rebadged 9500GT BTW.

what is the the difference?
Excuse my lack of knowledge but I am assuming for obvious reasons that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 256MB memory is better than the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics.
How much of an increase in performance?

10.5.7 seeds showed drivers for the new processors, it will be release at some point in the future. These Macs will be shipping with a 10.5.6 build with the new processor support, plus any drivers for any features exclusive to these machines.
This is fairly common for Apple (and its a good best practice). At some point they freeze a 10.X.N build and only add driver + needed feature support so they have a gold build to image onto the drives going into the new machines. They then port those changes forward into a 10.X.N+1 build with any other fixes going out to all machines.

No new computers in my local Apple Store in Milwaukee - I stopped in shortly after they opened at 10AM. Frak!

FireWire 800
So, now that the CONSUMER Mac Mini has FireWire 800 (gasp!), that blows away the argument of FW800 being only on PRO Macs.
Yes, I am exhuming this dead horse to beat it once again. Apple needs to bring FW800 to the CONSUMER MacBook, so they can import DV from their CONSUMER camcorder and import into the CONSUMER program iMovie.
My post will likely be lost in this thread which is fine. I've vented. I feel better.

Er ... where are these socialist countries that you write of? The UK is Airstrip One of the neocons new world order. Brown is now bent over in the Oval Office receiving instruction from Obuma as I type.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." I find it everywhere I go.
As for price rises ... they are absolutely disgustin'. No reduction when the £ was hammering the $ but plenty of punishment now.
:Yeah I read your reply, with the fine print, very strange, that's supposed to be the whole point of it...
So I'm about to order the high-end iMac. I'm wondering what you all think is the better video card (performance/drivers in both OSX and Windows)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512MB
or
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB [Add $50.00]

I don't like Windows either, which is why I was looking forward to this update (hoping the upgrades were better than the turned out). I'm running Windows 7 now, but it still pales in comparison to OS X. The easiest option is for me to wait another 6-12 months, or I can take a risk and upgrade to a OS X friendly PC. I'd rather do that than work my ass off to reward Apple for releasing out-of-date hardware at these prices.
The ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB seems to be a pretty good gaming card. Enough to run Crysis on high anyway, which is great in my books!
What is that all about? Shared graphics on a product at that price? I just dont get it. . . . Am i correct in thinking that the overpriced iMac is being shipped with the same graphics ability of the Mac mini? This just doesnt make sense.
