Apple Releases Core 2 Duo iMac, Adds 24" Model

Another point needs to be said:

Didn't we have enough of the 8X superdrives? 16X drives are definetly the standard these days, even on most Laptops. Isn't there a normal slot-loading 16X dvd burner in the market yet???
 
The 24" iMac has a Mobile Express Module inside, MXM type II video card.

I think thats good? not too sure? can anyone tell me if this is a standard type of card?

Then it just comes down to what you consider "top of the line" in a specific price range, and taste.

You can't argue taste. Might as well bang your head against a wall because that's more productive.

Problem is that the statement we are all disputing never made mention of price or taste. It was that the iMac is the most powerful desktop in the world, which is plainly not true.

BRLAWYER has simply altered his postition to make it seem more reasonable, but it doesn't change the fact that the original statement is false and him altering his position proves that he cannot support the original assertion. :p
 
it seems pretty likely that the 17" model will be dropped from the line when they finally do a full re-design of the iMac.

Graphic cards suck in those machines. Wow 64mb for low end. 128 for highest? Where is the 512?

It appears that you can upgrade on the 24" need somebody to confirm my post on this thread a couple of mins ago.

I know its quicker, but trying to figure out if its worth the extra $225.

considering it's only a 170MHz bump, you're not going to notice the difference.

I think I'm going to move to the US and start being a Laywer, since you don't even seem to know the first thing about debate or even what basic statements mean.

You never said it was the "best" desktop on the planet, or that it was the "best" for the price. You said the iMac is "the most powerful desktop". Which is wrong. It isn't. Your statement is false.

Really rather simple stuff, especially for a lawyer.

### I'm happy to see I'm not the only who gets involved in silly arguments....that add nothing to these forums. Thank you. It helps me see how silly I look. *I* shall try to change my ways...

But...

Noticed that, however I'm betting that he's from the US. Which is presumably where he was trained and passed his Law degree, meaning he is of a US standard.

And of course, I was joking :p

### That's pretty much true regarding Apple in general..and when they *do* offer a good card, it has horrible, performance crippling drivers. Despite this, I think the new iMac 24" is pretty rockin'.

You've got the developer's notes haven't you? Cheeky bugger, where'd you get those? Post them so we can all have a look, that Video Card thing sounds interesting if true - possibly user upgradeable if it's modular...

There's nothing wrong with standing up for the truth, and not letting people get away with being misleading (or lying). No matter how silly it is. ;) If they think they can get away with it they'll just continue doing it!

I just have a personal, perhaps irrational, hatred of people who refuse to admit anything they said is ever wrong. No matter how obviously wrong it is, as in this case. To go on and then pretend you said something else just makes me madder. :p

Ok, so that was really helpful to the poster asking wasn't it ;)


enigmatic2 ::EDIT:: so it isn't similar to the G5 iMac, as the G5's didn't have an access door to the memory modules I guess :( .

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMac_(Early2006)_UG.pdf

Page #69 (no joke) contains information about accessing the memory port and doing memory upgrades.

Probably the reason they went with nVidia, rather than any AMD buyout stuff.
