The biggest advantage is that a Core 2 Duo or better will be required to run OS X 10.7 Lion, due out this summer. That's not gospel, yet, but that's what people who are working with Apple as developers have been saying. So if that's true, then the advantage is in being able to use the latest OS. There are a lot of Core 2 Duo machines out there that can be had for less than $1,000, so there are lots of options where buying "cheaply" is concerned, Jim Scott -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
