It will happen naturally and effortlessly .... you'll just wonder how you managed without one for so long! Enjoy it, I know I'm certainly looking forward to a mega-speed boost come next Monday when my i7 is delivered!
you have no idea... I tried calling fed ex yesterday and they told me the box is in route to Illinois and will arrive on thursday. I'm probably going to give them another call tonight
Are you in the Tampa area? I actually did not get a single update (with the exception of the original pick up) on shipping until early this morning. Strange, I know. The only BTO option I added was the i7 upgrade, no SSD or additional RAM. I would keep an eye on your tr# late tonight and look again early in the morning.
I want to know how you got that far. Wow, that's highly impressive. But I'd wager it's the 16 gigs - each piece of ram is 4 gig and thus not impeded by smaller two gig address space. At least, that's what I'm guessing.
Apparently, the lack of tracking updates sometimes relates to whether or not you purchased AppleCare (AC). If you order a machine without AC, you can track it pretty much from the moment it leaves the factory. If however, you purchase a Mac with AC, you can't generally track it until it arrives at the
depot where it is merged with the AC box and formed into one order which can then be tracked .... that's cetainly the difference my colleague and I experienced last time we at the nearly same time, one with and one without AC.Yeah, I live in north Pasco. I also only upgraded to the i7. I've been keeping an eye on my tr# every five minutes.
I don't know how true that is. I didn't order Applecare (ordering next week) and I didn't get any tracking updates.Apparently, the lack of tracking updates sometimes relates to whether or not you purchased AppleCare (AC).

The lack of updates is because the packages are traveling across the country on ground. I just got off the phone with fed ex.
Same here, I think I refreshed that page a million times. I don't think I have obsessed over anything in my life as much as this. When I opened the box, I nearly crapped my pants.
I hope that's why it hasn't been updated. I'm more afraid of it having been stolen.
Well here is my set up! Very happy all around. Installing Logic right now!

Nice!
Like the 3 monitors. Logic is still installing for me. I'm expecting to actually load up a track late tonight. Excited to say the least!
Thanks let me know how it runs and how long it took. I probably will end up installing Logic tomorrow.
I just recieved my iMac i7 today, so i'm very happy with it.
but!! I just saw a black pixel on right down corner, I think it's not a dead pixel
cuz it can't see in white but it can see on any color.
Who know what is it??

Ok... So I just found this forum and after seeing that geekbench score of 9882 I CAN'T WAIT to pick up my iMac 27" i7 with 8gb of ram this afternoon!
I am a full time photographer and for the past three years I have been working on a 17" Macbook Pro Core Duo 2.16 ghz, 2gb ram with a Geekbench score of 1,420!! I think I am going to see a drastic improvement in speed and get far more time back after sifting through, editing and exporting thousands of wedding images.
Can anyone confirm a vast improvement in RAW rendering speeds in Lightroom?? Would love to know.
Can't wait to get home with it and fire it up for the first time!
