the extreme editon is a 75w tdp cpu, it's still too hot for the imac though, regular conroe is fine though.

Ah, just seen they've updated the specs since releasing them. The TDP used to be 90W but its been lowered to 75W for 2.93GHz and 80W for the 3.2GHz. Still I'd prefer a silent iMac to a louder more powerful iMac.

Extreme Edition... You want to put a 95W processor in the iMac when it currently has a 35W processor?

That's why I said Conroe if they redesign it. Because they could then redesign it to support a 75W processor. (That's what Controe Extreme will be.) If they keep the same design, stick with the portable chips.
