I need a new iMac. Do I get the 27" core 2 duo or wait for the intel i5. I don't do heavy video editing, but use photoshop and illustrator

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The most important factor in photoshop speed is processor speed, so you probably want to wait on the intel i5.

Alternatively, build your own machine and install mac OS on it!

Benchmarks aside, unless you're very industrious, a quad core is wasted on Photoshop and Illustrator. There are reasons the i5 model may be better for you, but typical professional use of Photoshop and Illustrator are not among them.
