Heya guys,
I'm thinking of buying an iMac, but there are some things I worry about for the future before buying it yet,
First of all, I will use my Mac over a year for my study, but I am not sure if it is quick enough to manage all the stuff I want to do, or simply just takes too long, that won't be great at all, so I have a question:
WOuld it help to buy, over a year!, extra RAM, and how do you connect that to the iMac?
Second, the new iMacs come with a standard of 320 GB, well that sounds fair enough for the start, but when I need more space, is it just as simple to go to a shop (does it matter which?) to buy a harddisk with like 500 GB for 100 euro or what ever it costs, and connect it simply to my iMac, (which port?)
When this all gets way too difficult I might save more money to buy a much better iMac a bit later on, so I can have a iMac which goes faster and better.
Thanks for your reply!
