New iMac offers faster processors

28 04 2008

 imageApple officially updated its iMac consumer desktop computer today, adding faster processors and a more powerful graphics option for the 24-inch model.

For the processor, you can now choose between: 2.4GHz, 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz, or 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (special order).  And the 24-inch model can now include either an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory.

Too bad the memory options are still the same (i.e., 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB).  In any case, I still love ‘em iMacs!



Cool sketch program from MIT

MIT calls it Assist Sketch Understanding System and Operation. As the video description states, you need to see it to understand it. Very cool…

It’s not a free program, but there is a free app called Phun that is somewhat similar.
