Dear all,
I have switched to Mac for over a year now, and am loving it very much, however, work does not permit me to switch to it 100% (due to some apps not mac compatible).
I am thinking of getting rid of my old PC and probably setting up parallel with the new imac 27". And would install Windows 7 in it. But one question lingers, do you think that the 27" imac with it's specs would support Windows 7?
Really appreciate your input!
Dear all,
I have switched to Mac for over a year now, and am loving it very much, however, work does not permit me to switch to it 100% (due to some apps not mac compatible).
1) I am thinking of getting rid of my old PC and probably setting up parallel with the new imac 27". And would install Windows 7 in it. But one question lingers, do you think that the 27" imac with it's specs would support Windows 7?
2) Is it easy to manually install new ram into imac? Cos I am planning to get it with 4MB ram, and maybe on a later date upgrade it into 8MB.
Really appreciate your input!
Well I have answered the first question elsewhere, so I will just answer question 2 here.
Yes, it is very easy to upgrade the RAM yourself on an iMac. There are instructions that will come along with your iMac to tell you how to go about doing it. But basically it involves removing that one screw underneath your screen, taking out a panel, then pulling the old RAM out via a strip and then sticking in the new. That's pretty much it, and there are instructions all over the internet if it isn't simple enough.
Mac Specs: Model Identifier: iMac9,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
VMFusion version 3.0 has just been released - it supports Windows 7 - as the new iMacs were announced earlier, I imagine that there will be no problem in running Fusion on them.
Mac Specs: 1.67GHz/15" PowerBook G4 | 1.6GHz Power Mac G5 | iSight

Officially Apple will support Windows 7 this December. However, Windows 7 is fully supported by Boot Camp 3.0 which was included with the Snow Leopard release in the latter part of August. Windows 7 was officially released to the public on October 22nd. It's currently running very nicely on a Boot Camp partition on my machine.

Thanks guys for the info.
Regarding Question 2. Would the 4MB ram come in 1 single ram or 2 Ram, meaning when I upgrade it, I should just get 1 4MB ram and install it?
