When I unboxed a 24" iMac at work.

Right before the update.

Thanks for the benchmarks Ryan. They are very helpful for someone looking to potentially buy from the refurb store. I see no reason to make this post without some good pics too. Well done. People really get caught up in this apple stuff.

Now, if you have a problem with dual intel processor computers (which use socket 771, not 775 by the way) requiring FB-Dimms, you need to complain about Intel, not Apple.

I think we all can agree that a mid-tower Apple PC would be fantastic, but complaining about things you clearly have little understanding of, I think you'll see, has very little impact on the future.]]>Apr 29th 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/Apr 29th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/

Apple and nVidia both announced that they were working on a solution to this problem as soon as the problem itself was identified. This happened mere days after the new Mac Pros hit the streets.

This was BEFORE anybody organized any complaints, it was BEFORE any petitions were signed, it was BEFORE people like you started BITCHING about it.

The petition had NOTHING to do with it, since Apple and nVidia were already working on fixing it. Why is that so hard for you to understand? The petition was completely useless because it was asking for something that Apple and nVidia had already told us they were going to do.

"We've identified the problem and we're working on a solution for it."

idiots: "But we want a solution for it!"

"Yes, we're working on it already."

idiots: "But we want a solution for it!"

"What are you people, deaf?" We already told you we were working on it!"

idiots: "But we want a solution for it!"

You see how stupid that is? Is it any clearer for you now?]]>Apr 29th 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/Apr 29th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/Apr 29th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/Apr 29th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/Apr 29th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/apple-imac-3-06ghz-unboxing-hands-on-and-benchmarking/
