On the Apple online store (for education - Australia), I have configured a 2.93ghz model to look/be exactly as the top-end model , with the following specs:
3.06ghz core 2 duo
1.0TB ATA hard drive
Nvidia GeForce GT 130 512MB
Apple Wireless Mighty mouse
Apple wired keyboard with numeric keypad
Although, when I configure this through the 2.93ghz model, price is $3478 AUD... but when I get this same config through the standard top-end model, its $3529.
Am I missing something here, or this a glitch in the system?
By the way, is the RAM on the GeForce GT130 DDR3, and is this graphics card beter than the previous 8800GS?
EDIT: Also, in the checkout, does the "title" of the configurations make a difference, if the specs below 2 differently titled configs , are exactly the same.
i.e. The 2.93ghz configured to look exactly as base 3.06ghz model has a heading of 'iMac, 24-inch, 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ' , while the base 3.06ghz model has title/heading of 'iMac, 24-inch, 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme'.... BUT, the actual specs below these two headings are exactly the same, and the 'iMac, 24-inch, 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme' works out $51 more expensive than the 2.93ghz one (which I've configured to be exactly like 3.06ghz model specified).
So I'm quite confused... is there REALLY a difference?
If I config the 2.93ghz to be exactly the same as base 3.06ghz model, with somehow being $51 cheaper... will I get everything like the normal 3.06ghz model, eg. Intel core 2 extreme processor, etc etc
