Apple is getting ready for Mother’s Day with a new iMac series. If you were about to buy one, hold your horses just yet and wait for a couple of more days.

Here’s what a new iMac will offer:

Faster processors – 6MB L2 cache

Faster 1066 MHz front-side bus across the entire line

2GB of memory

standard in most models

3.06 GHz Intel processor – for the 24-inch iMac

the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics – for the 24-inch iMac

These last few days it was rumored a new iMac will pack Intel’s upcoming Core 2 Duo Extreme X9100 chip, in preparation for the future “Montevina” Centrino 2 which is supposed to deliver better results for less power consumption. After all that talk it appears that the new iMacs aren’t using Montevina, but a 45nm Penryn 3.06GHz chip with a 1066MHz frontside bus.
