It's powered by a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which includess an amazingly fast 1066 MHz front-side bus speed and super-sized 6 MB L2 cache. Part of Intel's 45-nanometer (nm) Penryn series, this processor boosts both speed and efficiency while helping to reduce power consumption. This dual-core processor also provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved multitasking, video, and gaming performance. The iMac also features an ultra-thin aluminum Apple Keyboard--with an extended layout and dedicated keys for Mac features such as brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, and Exposé--as well as the wired Mighty Mouse. It's pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, which enables easy backup of your most important data via Time Machine, a redesigned desktop that helps eliminate clutter. It also comes with the iLife '08 suite of applications--including iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes--and the newest version of the fast-loading Safari web browser. Hardware features include a 320 GB hard drive, 2 GB of RAM (with a 4 GB maximum capacity), 8x SuperDrive for burning movies to DVD and music mixes to CD, integrated 802.11n wireless LAN, Gigabit Ethernet wired networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR connectivity, and ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card with 256 MB dedicated memory.

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Experience faster, more nimble application performance and improved energy efficiency with this 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo processor from Intel's 45nm Penryn lineup. The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--helps to reduce power consumption while delivering. powerful processing speeds. This 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo processor is aided by a 1066 front-side bus speed and a super-sized 6 MB L2 cache--both top-of-the-line for Intel's Penryn processors. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The Intel Core 2 Duo's 128-bit SSE3 vector engine handles 128-bit computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation by simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. And its two execution cores are designed to share resources and conserve power, helping it to achieve higher levels of performance since it uses fewer watts. Hard Drive and Memory The 320 GB Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. The 2 GB of PC6400 DDR2 RAM (two 1 GB SO-DIMMs) has an industry-leading 800 MHz speed, and the RAM capacity can be increased to 4 GB. Graphics and Video The 20-inch widescreen TFT active-matrix LCD offers a resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels. It has a brightness rating of 290 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), a contrast ratio of 800:1, and a viewing angle of 160 degrees (both horizontal and vertical). An ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics processor powers the iMac with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory. It features some of the most advanced graphics technology available and delivers new levels of visual realism and a huge texture fill rate for smooth surfaces and complex character details. GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3) is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications. This iMac also enables you to connect a second display in either extended desktop mode or video mirroring mode. The mini-DVI port connects to DVI displays, VGA monitors and projectors, and S-video and composite devices using the appropriate adapter (sold separately). Wired and Wireless Connectivity

 Rating:  - Why didn't we go to the Dark Side sooner?Ok, long story short, our XP desktop blew a motherboard several weeks ago and we ended up deciding to head over to the Big Box Electronics Retailer to look at updating our home system. The folks at the BBER were very helpful and spent about an hour and a half with us as we shopped for a new computer. We did due diligence and looked at a host of different Vista-based systems with different configs, and then spent some time looking at the iMacs. The more we looked, the more we liked, and we ended up ... Read More Rating:  - Reviews By LisaSummary: I'm going review something very near and dear to me, my computer. I'll admit that I wasn't being very frugal when I bought it. You see, this is my first Mac. So, I went to the Apple store in the mall, and I let them tell me what I wanted. Even though I feel I overpaid, I love it and am glad I have it! Model: Part number MB199LL/A (not exactly the same as the one on Amazon, but the features are very similar, and I did buy it back in November) Features: My iMac has ... Read More Rating: - Love My New iMacMy old Apple G4 was having problems, so it was time for a new computer. I bought the iMac 20-inch 2 GB thru Amazon and simply love it. I also saved $$ by buying it thru Amazon. I didn't need a 24-inch, as I thought it was too big and would hurt my neck. And the 20-inch 1 GB was not quite enough memory. So we're now quite happy here. Rating: - FANTASTIC COMPUTER, BUT BUYER BEWARE!I know the title to this review sounds confusing, but it will make sense after you have finish reading it. This computer is fantastic! The first time viewing the giant 24 inch display I had a "wow" experience. The display is bright, colors are vibrant, and with its high resolution, photos are more life like. Another truly amazing feature is how quiet it is. It is noiseless! No fan sound! No sound from the hard drive! The only time is does make a sound is when the CD/DVD Drive is being ... Read More Rating: - Fabulous computerMy G4 tower died about 16 months ago and I've been working on an Intel Core Duo MacBook 13" since then. But this iMac Intel 20" that I just bought is an incredible machine. It's quiet, extremely fast (since I maxed out the RAM at 4gb) and just gorgeous to look at. Watching movies on it with the infrared remote before sleep is quite a nice cinematic experience. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend this computer to anyone looking for a nice desktop solution. |
