I went to compusa on Saturday to buy a macbook but walked away with a 24" imac as well. Yipee!
Anyway, since I did not go with the intention of getting the imac, I totally blanked on the items I would have liked to have upgraded. The biggest thing would be bumping the video card from the 128 to 256mb.
I'm in negotiations with the GM at the store about swapping it out without having to pay the restock fee (wish me luck.) But if I can do that I'm going to do it for $125 for the video card upgrade without a doubt.
Could anyone tell me how this will affect performance if I simply upgrade to 3GB of memory and keep the 128 card? I plan at some point to be doing some HD editing from a panasonic or sony HD camcorder. I want to make sure I'm not going to have paint the house while I'm waiting for things to render, etc.
Thanks in advance!
