I am going to buy an iMac 24 this weekend and I am considering a few upgrades but don't know if it is worth the extra $400. What I am considering is the following:
Processor to 233 ghz from 2.16
256 Video card
Wireless keyboard and mouse
I want to go to 2G of Ram, but I understand it can be found much cheaper than buying from Apple direct.
This is per the apple site configuration page for the iMac.
The reason I am considering the upgrades is that I will be using Photoshop to edit pictures and do some video editing. All of it at a very basic level, nothing professional. I am coming from the PC world and I am tired of having to upgrade or deal with crashes. This may be overkill or maybe it is worth the money... not sure but hoping I could get some feedback that will help me make a decision.
Also, should I be looking at another vendor besides buying directly from Apple? Any store/online I should look at.
Thanks for the help.
