Okay with the update of the iMac and a session at the Apple store with a 20" model and the decision has been made that my next Mac will be one of those. Perhaps not until the NEXT update of the iMac, but no reason not to start research right away. :mac:
Anyway I know that the default memory configuration is now 512 meg of RAM, which according to my own Mini experience is perfectly adequate for my type of computer use. The iMac is upgradeable to 2G, however, and while adequate is nice there is no reason to limit oneself to the memory the machine came with. So my question is how easy/hard is it for one to do a memory upgrade to an iMac with third party RAM to avoid the Apple inflated prices? I did my own Mini from 256M to 512 and that was not particularly difficult, but from my observation of the iMac, it would seem that it is constructed a little differently...in that "you'll void your warrantee and cause evil if you try to open the case yourself" sort of way.
Or was there something that I missed?
Thanks.
