Dude, now is not the time to go into an Apple store and pull out some bad story about how it died. Politely tell them how much you love the machine, and how bad it sucks that the new ones are out and you got yours such a short time ago, and take it from there. The people at Apple are not forced to take it back...at all. Remember that. You did buy it, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you take it in there and sing the blues about how its not working, they are not going to be any more inclined to give you the dual machine than if you came in there with a red imac and then asked for one of the new lcd ones. They aren’t going to make any money on you, and they sure as hell don’t want to LOSE any money on you, nor do they want to lose a customer. Take what they are giving you. Also, don’t be surprised if the apple store (the actual store, not online) can’t help you out...they are probably ordered to maintain their inventory for parts and machines to a certain set of policies etc.
The 10% restocking fee for getting another processor is a BARGAIN. Trust me. I work on a single processor machine at work and I have a dualie at home and the difference is ASTOUNDING. I am sure that this 10% is only the cost of the tower and not the entire price you paid for the system.
Get the dual, count your blessings that they would actually take it back for a little bit of cash and enjoy it.
