- 24" Imac, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HD.
Hi,
I've been a long time PC user and after a good while lurking here and reading all the encouraging posts I've decided to make the plunge. I am looking at purchasing the 24 inch imac with no other upgrades other than the Apple Care protection plan.
What I would like to know is if I will be okay with the 1gig memory or if I should upgrade. I guess my main concern is that when the new Leopard OS becomes available will the machine run it without additional memory. Otherwise I plan to use the imac for surfing the web, downloading music/videos from itunes, watching videos, some basic home productivity (Quicken, word processing, basic spread sheets, maintaining home digital photo collection) I'm really not into any gaming or any intense video editing, etc.
Any comments will be appreciated.
