Apple gives iMac chips a boost
April 29th, 2008 by Dawn Kawamoto
Following rumours last week that Apple would soon be releasing a new iMac, the Mac maker is now selling an updated version of the computer, featuring a faster processor and an option for a souped-up graphics chip.
The lowest-end new iMac, which retails for AU$1,599, features a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn processor with up to 6MB of cache memory, a 1,066MHz front-side bus and 1GB of memory, expandable up to 4GB.
"With the latest Intel processors, a faster new graphics option, and more memory, customers now have even more reasons to love the iMac," Philip Schiller, Apple Worldwide Product Marketing senior vice president, said in a statement.
Apple's 24-inch iMac, which starts at AU$2,399, features additional options such as a 3.06GHz Intel processor and comparatively fast Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS graphics.
While the update offers faster processing speed, the overall design remains the same.
Sherene, did you get an email receipt when you bought the product. I am assuming it is an iTunes voucher. I would suggest you reply back to the email you received when you bought the itunes voucher and explain the situation.
