[QUOTE="technologist, post: 68183, member: 4134"] Keep in mind, there is no version of Access on the Mac. If you or your fiancé really needs Access, or other Microsoft software, then an iMac is probably not a viable choice, unless you're willing/able to switch to 4D MySQL or another Mac-compatible database. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the 3.4GHz Dell. Clock frequency isn't everything, but it does matter. For photo or music work, the Mac should be faster, but for gaming, the Dell would win hands down. Excel and database work would probably be faster on the PC. [/QUOTE]
