[QUOTE="chrismcfc, post: 872344, member: 109830"] I'm actually in the same boat as you, It'll be my first mac purchase (the last time I used a mac it was black and white) I'll probably be going for the 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB usually I prefer NVIDIA but I think these choices are a little outdated (I could be wrong with that) because they are usually better for gaming! As I'm quite into photography I'll be using photoshop and may use it for a little gaming. Dispite this I'm going for 4GB memory for 2 reasons. 1. It's easily upgraded if I find I need more after I purchase (I don't think I will) 2. DDR3 memory is very expensive at the moment (By the way the memory you pointed to on crucial is NOT the right sort. The imac takes the shorter laptop sized sticks, hence the price) it's this one [url=http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT2KIT51264BC1067]CT2KIT51264BC1067 - 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM , DDR3 PC3-8500 from Crucial.com[/url] The only thing holding me back at the minute is that apple are releasing a new operating system in September and I'm not sure what the price of an upgrade would be. C. And the Imac has been around for a while now and I don't know if there is an planned upgrades for the near future... Somebody else may be able to spread some light on this for us. (dispite that I'll prob still purchase this one). [/QUOTE]
