Nice one :)
Is it Quad-Core CPU?
64-bit?
Enjoy!

It's got the new Intel Core i7 Processor-a real humdinger from what I've read and comes with Vista Home Premium 64-bit. It should make my post processing software buzz right along and take seconds instead of minutes to save a project.

Sounds like a great machine, David. I'm glad you finally made up your mind and I hope you will enjoy your new computer!

[DAVID E]

Thanks, Fran. I toiled over this quite some time. I wanted the imac but it can't do what this one does for near the cost. I'd have to get a Mac Pro to get close. I needed power and space and memory to run digital programs and this gives me both.
