I bought the 24" iMac a few weeks ago - it folds like a demon!

I seem to recall hearing something about Windows not recognising some things like fans properly in boot camp. Not entirely sure though??

I actually only use the iMac for web browsing which is a right pain in the butt - the OS fonts are impossible to increase in size apart from a few of them.
I can't stand iTunes - I use VLC.
Safari got binned for firefox.

It folds 24/7 and the CPU's are in the high 50's.

hmmm thinking about it Safari is starting to annoy me a little now, its always beachballing when im loading two or more tabs.

well i had mine fold all weekend and i was very pleased, the system didnt go over 42'C all weekend - not bad i reckon

think we should start a "post your mac setup" thread
