I'm finally making the move from PC to Mac. I've decided to get the 21.5 inch iMac.
My question is: should I get the upgrade from 3.06GHz to 3.33GHz and/or from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM?
I will be doing DVD authoring, picture editing, watching movies, iTunes+iPhone ...

Thanks for your answers!

If the 3.33 is within your budget, do it. Only because I'm a believer in getting the most processor you can afford. Unlikely you'll notice any difference unless you, like me, sit around timing stuff to see how long it takes and shaving seconds off your work flow matter to you.

Would not personally invest in the 8 GB until I had the machine and saw how much I was using with 4 GB.
