Wahay, and the first Core 2 Duo machine too - which gives me hope for the new MacBookPro I am dearly hoping they release soon so I can buy one .

The only bummer about this (IMO) is that they don't offer a "glossy" display option on the 24" iMac. Other than that, this rocks!

I guess maybe the glossy would be good for desktops, but I'm still unsure about using it on laptops, I have enough trouble in sunlight already!

On a side-note, the Mac mini has been updated, too, with a faster processor.

Not a Core 2 Duo though. Disappointing!

Aside from having 64 bit support, is there anything special about the Core 2 Duo processors?

They're more power efficient than the original Core Duo, have a larger L2 cache, and offer something like 30% better all-around performance (along with other improvements, like an extra ALU, faster FSB, among other things).
