I'm two weeks into owning a new 20" iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It's the base model with 1GB of RAM. When I got the machine I reformatted the HDD and installed the OS without the extra junk I didn't want on it. I then updated it with all the latest on Software Update.
I've noticed that the machine feels slow to repsond at times. I get pinwheels while modding file names, changing m4a metadata, etc. - simple stuff. It feels only slightly swifter than my 1.5GHz G4 12" PowerBook with 1.25GB of RAM. It's nothing drastic, but it's a bit disappointing for a brand new machine.
I've decided that I should have gotten the 2GB RAM upgrade from the start as at this point it's going to cost me $300 just to double my current RAM. But can expect a real improvement if I do so now? Am I just asking too much of my 1GBs?
