"Apple Computer introduced an updated version of its iMac G5 computer Tuesday to include faster 64-bit processors and graphics capabilities. The machine is set to take advantage of the new "Tiger" operating system, which will be bundled with the new computers, along with a built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. "Reviewers have called the iMac G5 'the most elegant desktop computer in the world,' and now it's getting even better," Peter Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide product marketing at Apple Computer Inc., said in a statement.

The new iMac G5 now can be purchased with a 17- or 20-inch widescreen display, with 1440x900 and 1680x1050 pixel resolution, respectively, which will be powered by an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics processor with 128MB of memory.

New, customizable upgrades include 400MHz of DDR (double-data-rate) memory that can be expanded to 2GB, while the storage capacity can be upped to 400GB.

In addition to running Tiger more efficiently, the expanded memory and hard drive also will let users take better advantage of the included iLife '05 application suite, which includes iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand and iTunes."
