[QUOTE="DavidHH, post: 1481403, member: 145862"] [b]Fusion Drive.[/b] I have just received mine and I would like to also pass on my two cents. I upgraded the RAM to 16 and also added the Fusion Drive. Wow does it perform well. Remember, Apple has moved to 5,400 RPM Drives with the new 21.5" iMacs. I have found that the Fusion Drive really makes up for the slower Drives. Unless you are doing something "processor intensive" (vector drawings, large photo file editing) you will not see much improvement with the i7 upgrade. I would choose either the RAM upgrade or the Fusion Drive. [/QUOTE]
