This is the all-in-one desktop computer in a glass and aluminum one-piece casing behind the 24\u201d screen, mounted on an aluminum stand with an adjusting hinge. But the processor Intel Penryn is of a higher class. It got the fastest bus and the largest cache of the time. This mobile type processor is also more energy efficient than its Merom predecessor. The RAM speed had been also boosted up to 800 MHz. The iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Early 2008) features a 2.8 GHz Intel &#8220;Core 2 Duo&#8221; processor (E8235), with two independent processor &#8220;cores&#8221; on a single silicon chip, 2 GB of RAM, a 320 GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 RPM), a slot-loading DVD+R DL \u201cSuper Drive\u201d, ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics with 256 MB of GDDR SDRAM (PCI-Express), a built-in iSight webcam, a microphone and stereo speakers, as well as 1 Firewire &#8220;400&#8221;, 1 Firewire &#8220;800&#8221; and 3 USB 2.0 ports. It also has built-in draft and enabled AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 2.1+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 24\u201d screen for the sound to bounce off the desk or other surface. The speakers\u2019 grills also work as the vent ones. The iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Early 2008) is shipped with an ultra-thin aluminum Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#iMac_24-inch_28GHz_Intel_Core_2_Duo_Early_2008\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Early 2008)<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Specifications\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">1.1<\/span> Specifications<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Apple_Orders_Discontinuation_Price\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Apple Orders, Discontinuation, Price<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Miscellanea\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Miscellanea<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Links\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Links<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"iMac_24-inch_28GHz_Intel_Core_2_Duo_Early_2008\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Early 2008)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Introduced on April 28, 2008.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Specifications\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Codename:<\/em> Intel Mac.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor Speed:<\/em> 2.8 GHz.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor Architecture:<\/em> 64-bit.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor type:<\/em> Core 2 Duo (E8235) \u201cPenryn\u201d.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Processor upgrade:<\/em> ZIF Socket.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Cores:<\/em> 2.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>On-Board Ram:<\/em> 2GB, DDR2 800MHz (no slot empty).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Max.
