Hello again guys,
Just a couple of questions regarding the new iMac's with intel chips.
As some of you may remember i posted a while back with some questions about the iMac G5.
well, i am still saving up for the iMac but am now seriousley considering the new intel one as with my discount it comes to roughly £20 dearer for the following system:
* 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512MB
* 160GB Serial ATA drive
* Keyboard & Mighty Mouse + Mac OS X
* 17-inch TFT display
* 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor
* SuperDrive 8x (DVD+R DL/DVD+RW/CD-RW)
* ATI Radeon X1600 - 128MB GDDR3 SDRAM
* AirPort Extreme
* Bluetooth 2.0
Now, i would just like some opinions on whether this system would easily perform the following:
Video Editing (i.e. Final Cut pro, iDVD, iMovie etc...)
Photo Editing (Inc photoshop, Possible use of Aperture)
Web Design (Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver etc etc...)
Word Processing (Microsoft Office)
Music Recording (Garage Band mainly)
Tasks like the above are what i want to be doing, things relating to my course and my work.
Any information and/or advice would be apprechiated.
Kind Regards,
Chris. :mac:
