:Oops: well. i have the standard imac that retails for 1400 in canada. it comes with 1gb of ram. i was wondering if i put 4gb of ram in my mac and run bootcamp would i be able to play some games? i played counter strike and battlefield on my laptop, also i would like to try company of heros and !crysis!


i was wondering, is there a difference in these ram sticks.

What graphics card does the standard have?

Certified is a marketing ploy.

I have Windows Vista Basic on my MBP for gaming. It's on a 30GB partition. I'm currently using 22GB of it, with Counter-Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source, and Team Fortress 2 installed. I try to go native where ever I can.

The Radeon 2400 isn't a great card. Adding more memory will not help it.

You might do ok with certain games, but I wouldn't like to play Crysis on it.
