Thanks to some encouragement from board members I have decided to go ahead and buy a new 20" IMac asap. I'm now looking for opinions as to whether any of the customizations offered (harddrive, memory, processor) would help me have a better experience.
I need to run five or six different browsers simultaneously along with one or two chat programs at all times. I'll also sometimes be working in Dreamweaver or Photoshop or GarageBand and also have other little programs like FTP and TextEdit running. I'm also going to store about 50GB of music and a few thousand photos on there and I want to be able to add to that.
The question is, is the stadard version good to go for what I want it for or am I asking too much. I want it to run fast at all times--I hate pauses when I am switching between applications.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks,
Rusty
