Steven heeft gisteren de nieuwe iMacs geïntroduceerd. Hier een rijtje specs, gejat van MacOS Rumors:
- $999, Baby!- The new iMac, based on the UMA chipset, does indeed sport a 100MHz main bus and uses full-size SDRAM DIMMs, reducing both initial and upgrade costs. The low-end model -- available only in Blueberry -- sports a 350MHz G3 processor with 512k backside L2 cache at half the processor speed, and includes 64MB of RAM as well as 8MB of video SGRAM standard. All models include an ATI RAGE 128 graphics card (!) on a 133MHz AGP bus. With muscle like this on even the low-end model, look out, Wintel....
- The DV model, which includes Firewire, RGB video out, DVD-ROM, a 10GB hard disk, 400MHz G3 CPU, and bundled iMovie video editing softwarte, is $1299. The DV Special Edition, which includes 128MB of RAM and a 13GB disk, is $1499.

- The new Harmon-Kardon sound system sounds great -- but the Subwoofer is an optional USB peripheral. One very interesting feature of the USB Subwoofer is that as soon as it is plugged into either of the C2's dual USB busses, the Mac OS' sound settings automatically reconfigure to transfer low frequencies (bass) to the subwoofer. Very slick!
