iMac now has the Intel Core Duo

The new iMac is one of the ones based around Intel processors as opposed to the previous PowerPC chips from IBM. The good thing about them is that they´re using the new Core Duo chips, the new dual core (as the name suggests) so they should be pretty sweet machines.

The bad thing about them is that they come with the usual Apple price tag and cost a pretty penny. As soon as I´ve got some disposable cash in my budget then I might get one for website testing purposes and graphics and media work. Until them I think I´ll upgrade my majorly outdated main desktop to a dual core processor.

The only question is to go with AMD or Intel…. I think I´ll go with one of the AMD Athlon 64 X2s. Time to go shopping!
