You guys think way too indepth and complicate things too much. I am 99% sure that what you'll get (like the Mac book upgrade) is a simple swap out now from core duo 1.66 and 1.83 to core 2 duo 1.66 and 1.83 and a bumping of standard ram to 1 gb. That's all and that's plenty to keep it price competitive with the imac. Then perhaps right before leopard you'll see a modest speed bump to 1.83 and 2.0. That's it that's all folks and well deserved changes.
