Reliability of early intel iMacs

[dolbinau]

If I'm looking at buying a second hand iMac should I stay away from the Core Duo and only look at Core 2 Duo? Are there any known hardware failures for these models?

thanks

personally, my core duo imac gave me no problems. but unless there was a huge price difference, I would hold out for a c2d.

i will suggest c2d, but cd only support up to 2G ram. (if my memory serves me well)

My Mac Mini (Core solo) is still working great.

Look for a C2D.
