iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 17-Inches

The iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 with 17-inches screen is almost identical to its predecessor – Mac G5/1.9 iSight. They share the design, weight and dimensions. But the processor is entirely new. Apple replaced Power PC processors for the Intel ones, applying the innovating double-core architecture. This iMacs line-up is known as Intel Macs. The iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 is the all-in-one desktop computer in a polycarbonate casing behind the 17-inches screen, mounted on an aluminum stand with an adjusting hinge. The “Core 2 Duo” 2.0 17-inch features a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (T7200), with two independent processor “cores” on a single silicon chip, 1 GB of RAM, a 160 GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 RPM), a slot-loading DVD+R DL “Super Drive”, ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128 MB of GDDR SDRAM (PCI-Express), a built-in iSight webcam, a microphone and stereo speakers, as well as 2 Firewire “400” and 3 USB 2.0 ports. It also has built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet and mini-DVI capable of supporting a second display. The cooling system is CPU controlled and the in-built speakers are mounted beneath the 17” screen for the sound to bounce off the desk or other surface. The speakers’ grills also work as the vent ones.
