My iMac (Late 2006 Model)

This iMac is the first one to use the Intel Processor inside. Still, it used the same case as the iMac G5 (iSight) Model too. the iMac uses a 1.83 Ghz Core Duo.

is your screen broken?

[crzy4MAC12]

@crashbandicoot4everr Yes. There are multiple lines on the screen. I believe it's the Philips LCD screen that is faulty.

Does this machine still run fairly well today? How does it handle the internet (youtube, flash heavy sites, etc) any major complaints? =)

[crzy4MAC12]

@mlthomp1981 Yeah, this iMac runs fairly good. It pretty much handles the internet and big tasks very easy.

Sometimes it gets annoying from the lines on the LCD. Some day i'll have to replace it.

This model is not a Late 2006 but a Early 2006!

These are the standard iMacs. Thin/compact DVD drive, USB, wifi,etc. They're not expensive or that old and dont have all those expensive bells and whistles that come with the new ones

1GB RAM? It'll take up to 2GB, upgrade it and it'll perform better than ever before. Crucial.com - can't go wrong.

@mlthomp1981 - I sold my 2006 20" iMac last year in March for $500. It was running great, no issues with the screen. Only reason I dumped it is because I got a new high-end DSLR camera and started using Aperture. Didn't like that so much. Not enough RAM or video processing power I guess.

Awesome! The reason I was asking.. I was waiting on mine to arrive. I just purchased one off ebay, and it made it here this afternoon. You're right.. its still pretty usable by today's standards! I was pleasantly surprised honestly. Cool video BTW!
