This was an early 2006 model. I just got one from eBay. It has a Intel single core, 1.5 ghz processor.
I heard somewhere it is possible to upgrade this to Intel Core 2 Duo, I just want to confirm this, also anyone have any good suggestions for one on NewEgg or something better.
The one I bought has preinstalled 1.5gb ram and OSX 10.6.4 by the previous owner.
It's main use will be mild-heavy Photoshop usage for a college level art student. Then after she's done with school, would be used as a media center. So it needs a little bit more juice.
Thank you,
Brian
Edit:
Actually, maybe possible to install any kind of intel core duo? I need at least that to run CS5

I also found 2.33Ghz Core2Duo T7600 based from this video:

This a bit pricier, so much I should have just went with a brand new Mac Mini from Apple. The latter would definitely be preferred, but, I'm worried about overheating, etc.
Most of this research was the result of realizing CS4/5 need multicore processors to run, it would be dumb to try to run it with anything else anyway.
