I just took delivery of a new 24" iMac.  Got it with the 2.33 GHz  
C2D, 500GB hard drive, full 3 GB of RAM, 256 MB GPU - basically the  
works.

I love this machine!  It's replacing a five-year-old Dual-800  
Quicksilver G4 running a 22" Cinema Display.  I thought my old Cinema  
Display was hanging in there nicely until I saw the brightness of the  
iMac.

I am a CS2 user and have installed it on the iMac.  I think it runs  
on par with how it performs on the Quicksilver, which is fast enough  
for what we do.  As far as I've been able to tell, there are no weird  
hiccups with CS2 and Rosetta.  I had more problems with Office 2004  
getting up an running.

I went with the iMac because the C2D is a good jump ahead in  
processor (64-bit), and we were looking to reduce the desk space  
requirements of our photo processing center.

As far as the Adobe release schedule, no one knows for sure.  I guess  
the whole point of this post is that CS2 will work quite well on the  
iMac 24 until CS3 comes along.  They've gotta be making progress, as  
Lightroom B4 is Universal.....

HTH
