New imac 3.4 i7 Logic

I'm using Logic with a 2.8GHz i7 iMac (two generations ago) and it's absolutely insane!
Not yet come close to maxing out the processor even with hundreds of plugins and synths.
Enjoy
Sounds good! Any idea how it will handle heavier stuff like software from spectrasonic?
3.4GHz iMac is a music-making machine!
I can tell you that the 3.4GHz i7 iMac works absolutely brilliantly with the Spectrasonics stuff. I went from a 2.4 Core2Duo MacBook Pro with 6GB to this specifically to get more headroom for Logic Pro. The MacBook Pro had done well with heavy Omnisphere patches but I had to freeze tracks in order to add in Stylus RMX and Trilian. Now I have virtually 8 cores instead of 2 so it cruises very comfortable with plenty of CPU headroom.
Also running the EvanLogicMulticoreBenchmark file, I ran 82 simultaneous tracks with the 3.4GHz iMac as compared to 20 with the 2.4GHz Core2Duo MacBook Pro--four times as powerful.
Get it, it's a music-making machine!
