In a few day, my beloved iMac will be three years- no more warranty.

I have upgraded my regular mouse to a mighty mouse, I've upgraded my OS system from Leopard to Snow Leopard and I've doubled my memory from 1 to 2 GB. It has 2 GHZ processor.

Have I forgotten something? I hoping i can get another three years out of it.

Is there anything else I can do to future ready my iMac? Thanks in advance.

If your iMac is a G5...then you couldn't have upgraded to Snow Leopard...since only Mac's with Intel cpu's can run 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'm betting that since it's 3 years old...it probably has an Intel cpu...and is not a G5.

Unless you're having issues...there's really no need to upgrade anything. Just upgrade as you needs change...but given what you listed already...I don't thing any more upgrades are necessary or possible.

By the way...if I've guessed correctly what iMac model you have...it can be upgraded to 4 gig of ram...but only 3gig is useable.

you're right, is an intel mac not a G5. I will probably get to 4 Gb of memory in a couple of years.
