Announced in January 2006 alongside the MacBook Pro, the iMac (Early 2006) was the first desktop Mac based on an Intel processor. Running on the Intel Core Duo processor, which had two processor cores on a single chip, the iMac (Early 2006) was significantly faster than its predecessor, the iMac (iSight), when running Intel-compiled code. It also features faster bus and memory speeds, a better graphics chip set, and a mini-DVI port which featured monitor spanning (a first for consumer Macs). It was available in two configurations: the 17" model, with a 1.83 GHz Core Duo processor was $1299, and the 20" model, running at 2.0 GHz, was $1699. The iMac (Early 2006) was discontinued in September 2006, following the release of the Core2 Duo-based iMac (Late 2006).
