[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 193961, member: 15110"] You can do that with both the Mini and the iMac. OWC sells a 2gb kit for the Mini for $230, which is $70 cheaper than Apple sells it for. Check out the ram section of my Intel Mini upgrade guide [URL=http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31816]here.[/URL] One other thing to think about is hardware failure. If anything goes out on the iMac, you're hosed until you can get it fixed. With the Mini, if your monitor dies, just get a new one. The hard drive also seems to be less accessible in the iMac than the Mini. That's the danger of having an all-in-one design. But hey, who am I to talk, I just bought my wife an iMac Core Duo lol.
