I'd really like to know what the **** a 2.8Ghz iMac is using for a<br>
CPU! To the best of my knowledge Intel does not make an Extreme
with<br>
those spec's, the closest to what Apple is advertising is the
"Intel<br>
Core 2 Extreme Processor X6800" running at 2.93Ghz.<br>

<div>I believe that the new iMacs are using the Santa Rosa version of
the Core 2 Duo:</div>

<div>One big clue is that they (as well as the most recent spin of
MacBook Pro) can handle 4GB of memory instead of only 2 GB.</div>
