Hi,
It looks like there could be changes coming soon to the 17 inch IMac regular non education version.
Could it be?
Look.

Maybe - all the Core Duo Macs could be getting small speed bumps. But it could also indicate high demand, too. I would also guess that if there were changes being made to the 17" that there would also be changes in the 20", but who knows...
 
You're expecting an update because shipping dates have slipped to 1-2 business days on one of the models? Right.

That happens all the time as the component supply chain ebbs and flows. Let me know if it slips to 5-6 days for a stock configuration.
