[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1213189, member: 83420"] Hi Doug I'm with MacDude on your need for so much RAM capability. I too run Aperture 3 and have a 100 GB Library. I do some modest video editing and run the OsiriX Work Station. All of this runs fine on my 21.5, 3.33 GHz, Core 2 Duo with 8 GB RAM. Sure, I also have the 27 core i7 iMac with SSD; but that's because, like many folks, I crave speed and I like "toys". Nothing wrong with that, but I don't NEED the extra bits & bobs. I want it. That's different. Your current requirements are met with a modest processor and 4 GB RAM. So why not forsake the large Monitor real estate and go for the top-of-range 21.5 iMac. Better still, if you are prepared to be patient, wait till mid summer and see what the new 21.5 offers. SSD & i7 maybe?? Ian [/QUOTE]
