Got the i5 - can't run everything in SC 2 in Ultra - Shaders have to drop down and then it seems to run around 35-40fps in native res. I'm returning my i5 tomorrow though due to the hard drive noise - so may change it for an i7 if they stock it.

I'd like to know how it is after the graphics update that came out today.
I doubt the CPU would make much of a difference because all the shaders rely on the GPU performance.

I'd also like to know how the game runs under Windows 7 64-bit via bootcamp. If the game can be run on Ultra under Windows, that would be good enough for me.

Well Apple finally had some returns so I took the leap and bought one. The first thing I installed was Starcraft 2. When I fired up the game the first thing I did was max out the resolution as well as everything to ultra. I have had no problems with bad framerate, slowdowns, etc. It runs great. Even when I spam all of my carriers and collosi under the cloak of the mothership. Not sure if the graphics update a while ago fixed everything or what but it runs perfect for me. 27" iMac, Intel Core i7 2.93 Ghz, 4 GB ddr3 1333. So for those of you considering buying it I would definitely say do it.
