    if you bought it from apple within 14 days of the cut yes, if not, no.

    If it's any consolation, the second to last Mac I bought was an 8600/200. By the time it arrived, nine months after I ordered it, Apple was selling an 8600/350 (that's a 75% faster CPU!) for the same price! But I'd ordered the /200, so that's what I got.



    It's kind of frightening, but Apple's gotten a lot better about stuff like that. Now it's not much worse than showing up in a store the day after a sale you hadn't heard about.
