If it still does what you need then why worry?
It does what I want but my wife is hooked on some games which are part of Facebook. They seem to overwhelm the computer - probably the video card and I have to restart the system after she gets done with the games. I believe I read somewhere that gaming software is the most demanding on a computer. Anyway, I would imagine we will be looking in about a year or so for a new iMac.
Yes, games do take a toll, my 2.6 Dual core Mac mini struggles a bit with Facebook games. I haven't tried the quad i7...
Facebook game use Flash, that is not the most computer friendly system and is no longer being developed by Adobe. It will eventually be replaced by HTML5 I believe.
By then there will be another new iMac out and another new OS. That will be a huge upgrade from >6 years old now.
