Hello everybody

I have been lurking on this forum for some time now and found loads of very useful information in the world of apple products. So I just wanted to say thanks to those who contributed to this great forum. Now...

I finally decided (I think I did :rolleyes:) to get imac 21.5 base model ($1,199). This will be my first mac and I am very excited to switch. Reason why I decided to go with base model is because I think it will serve my computing needs very well. I mainly use computer for web browsing, pics, light video editing (limited to Imovie only), itunes, etc. So no graphic intense operations.

Currently I have 4 year old laptop. Last night I ran some geekbench results and got 1,800. What I would be interested in is seeing some base model scores. I tried to search, but could not get any results. If anyone out there be so kind to post some links to such info or maybe post these scores here so I can judge what kind of an upgrade I am looking at with my future new toy. Please forgive me if this kind of a thread had been posted already. I just could not find it that easily.

Thank you everyone

That's because it was 32-bit Geekbench. I just Geekbenched my iMac and got 3900 with 32-bit and 4653 with 64-bit, so that's where the difference came
 
what are the benefits of 64 bit vs 32? Do apple application support 64 bit because it seems like it is better to run them in 64 bit. Am I looking at this right?
