Bad news...
Well, my iMac decided to take a dump today. The hard drive bought the farm. It just gives about 6 clicks, stops, then clicks some more, stops, etc. Won't boot up at all. When I boot with my OS disc, Disk Utility doesn't even see the hard drive at all. Good news... I was planning on getting a new iMac anyway so this just motivated me to go ahead and order it. Since I was using OSX's Time Machine backup I won't even lose a single file. I just setup from my Time Machine backup when I start my new computer for the first time. I ordered the follwing... 27" iMac w/ 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB 1TB Serial ATA Drive ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB Built-in 27-inch (viewable) LED-backlit glossy widescreen TFT active-matrix liquid crystal display with IPS technology 2.66GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.2GHz I am going to also order an additional 4gigs of ram to bring the total up to 8gigs. The iMac with 8gigs got a geekbench score of 7662. Should be a huge improvement over the 2ghz Core Duo in my current iMac wich gets a geekbench score of 2612. Should be here by the end of next week.
