My "low end" Mac mini seems to handle everything I can throw at it - insofar as particle effects and what not. I think a 2Ghz Core2 can generally cope well with a lot of work. It all depends what you want to do. I'm sure it would manage to run a card-based golf game... at a push :-p
My main issue with iMacs and the laptops is that I already have screens.. which means I'd have to get a Mac Pro tower, which is a large step-up price-wise. Although it would be nice to stick in 8gig of RAM and have 8 cores to play a match-3 game.
