Apple Computer introduced an updated version of its iMac G5 computer Tuesday to include faster 64-bit processors and graphics capabilities.

The new three iMacs feature PowerPC G5 processors up to 2.0GHz, include built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and run Apple's newest OS, Mac OS X version 10.4, dubbed "Tiger," which went on sale last Friday. Two of the new systems include a new 8X optical drive with double-layer DVD support.

"We have a very exciting update to the iMacs today," Tom Boger, senior director Desktop Product Marketing at Apple, said in an interview. “We’ve added hundreds of dollars of value to [them], and we ended up with the most feature-rich consumer product line we’ve offered.”

In addition to getting faster G5 processors, the iMac takes advantage of the new "Tiger" operating system, which will be bundled with the new computers and now includes an ATI Radeon 9600 video card that features 128MB video memory -- twice the video RAM available before -- a new 8X SuperDrive that provides double-layer burn support, built-in Gigabit Ethernet and 512MB of RAM across the line.

The lower-end package will sell for $1,299 and includes a 17-inch widescreen, a 1.8GHz processor and a 160GB hard drive. The high-end system will sell for $1,799 and includes a 20-inch widescreen, a 2.0 GHz processor and a 250 GB hard drive.
