If you want a CoreDuo machine, but price is a problem, check this thing out.

It does not have Bluetooth, and the graphics card is a cheaper setup, but you might give it a peek. I don't know how well it would handle TT (especially given the problem getting it running on Intel macs)

 

Consider the two chief differences between this configuration and Apple’s other iMac offerings—there’s no built-in Bluetooth module, and, instead of a an ATI Radeon X1600 graphics card, you get an Intel GMA 950 processor that shares its memory with the main RAM.

 

You can buy with the education discount if you are a student, have a student in school, or are faculty.

I know that the Intel 950 graphics cards which share ram suck, and do not handle TT very well. Drops frame rate to 5 FPS every 10 seconds, making it near impossible to play with.

I am not sure if I like the new lower graphics macs. I think macbookpro os good, but the normal macbook is kinda dissapointing.

Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.
