I am happy to report... no freezes (I tried the things users have reported), no screen issues, etc. The unit looks/act perfect to me so far. Leopard was NOT pre-installed. I did the upgrade. I received the unit yesterday.
Got a tip for us?

This unit shipped the next day I ordered it. It was shipped from Memphis to Ohio via UPS.
I live in the UK .. and was told .. perhaps somewhat ambitiously by the Apple Telesales Geezer - that any machines would come with Leopard presinstalled .. this however seems to be an optimistic claim if others on here who have not received theirs in such a state - is anything to go by. However - mine allegedly has shipped from the Czech Republic on Nov 7th to arrive here in a week. Is this a good thing .. or a bad thing?. It also seems the Apple UK site at least is now proudly displaying iMac boxes with Leopard on the screen exterior ... hmmm. ANyway - if its not the hyperlatest batch as promised.. then back it must go!. Aye!

I am not a gamer. mostly digital video and photography. It seems to working great. Even with only the original 2GB RAM. I have had several programs open, EYE TV, etc and it doesnt hiccup unlike my iMac G5.
