- 24" 2.8ghz iMAC w/ 4GB Ram - 17" 1.67ghz PBook G4 w/ 2GB Ram
Hey Mac-Forums i need your advise. Tried the search function and found nothing....
I was actually on apple.com and was about one click or so from purchasing a new 24" iMac 2.8 core 2 Extreme, 1 gig of ram (going to buy 4gb ram from another vendor as soon as purchase is made) and 500gig HDD, expedited shipping (because im antsy!), applecare, wireless mouse, etc....
Now I dont mind paying for the difference between 320 and 500, but just when I was telling my friend the specs i was purchasing, he tried to persuade me into purchasing the 320gb HDD due to problems that occur with larger hard drives.
So my question is, would you say it is fairly safe to go with the 500 or should i just stick with the 320.
I could not wait for leopard so I will have to purchase it when it arrives.
My plans are to run windows and allocate 20-40gigz to XP for school, and run the rest on OSX. The iMac is going to replace my old PC and will be my work horse. I mainly do photography and use graphics and web design programs from adobe. I also plan to take advantage of the awesome programs in iLife and do alot of web surfing.
I do own a 200gig FW800 external HDD.
Thanks in advance!
