27" iMac ATI HD 5750 Starcraft 2

just wondering if any new imac owners also have starcraft 2 and can tell me if you can pull off ultra graphics settings at full resolution without any problems. i am looking at getting the i7, but if you have the i5 feel free to chime in too. thanks.

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.

Are you running Textures on Ultra as well? Because I am running the same comp as you and I'm getting major chug on ultra settings. I've had to set high everything and still have very long load times and lag on level start.
