[QUOTE="tommyz, post: 271900"] [b]Thanks - I ordered the 20" imac with 2 gig[/b] of ram and upgraded the video card. I found a site that had run comparisons using the 2gig and 3 gig and the differences were not astounding. It seems that memory access and addressing is faster with "like" chips and although 3 gig is faster - it isn't like 30 percent faster - more like 10 percent doing a variety of movie editing tasks. Now I just have to agonize while waiting for the new machine. I chose next day delivery - ordered last night and it says Nov. 7 for due date. This I find funny since the store says 2-4 days for delivery. I had several complaints about the store though. Very difficult to use. They say you have to be home for delivery - but don't give exact dates Using my gift card was difficult No ability to compare across machine on one page. Tom [/QUOTE]
