Please don't suggest that I get an iMac or Mini!!!
I am very happy with this model, which is a 2010 quad-core 3.2 GHz. While a hex-core would be nice, I would not be able to use any of the RAM that I currently have in a hex-core.
It's a question of where to buy a replacement. There are several on eBay, and there are a couple available through OWC. I love OWC, but there is a $300-$400 difference in what I could expect to pay. There is a 90-day warranty through OWC.
I could try to sell the RAM, or trade it in to OWC for RAM appropriate for a hex-core. Not my preferred option, though. Should have bought the higher-spec RAM for the quad core, but didn't think it through (dagnabbit).
