[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 724699, member: 56231"] To answer a couple of your concerns ... Capacitors - the infamous eMac capacitor problem had been identified and rectified before the 1.42 model was put out. You should not experience any such problem with your eMac. You have indeed bought the best of the eMac range. RAM - as far as I know there are no pitfalls other than buying bad (cheap) RAM. There's a lot of discussion/debate about brand, but the two names that tend to rise above the flak are Crucial and Kingston (just don't buy RAM from Apple, it's too expensive). The type is PC2700 DDR SDRAM. I'll leave it to you to source a supplier but many US contributors go online to OWC [url]http://eshop.macsales.com/[/url] for Mac-specific supplies. To enhance your forthcoming experience with your eMac, make sure you visit these two sites: [url]http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/emac/stats/emac_1.42.html[/url] and [url]http://lowendmac.com/imacs/emac-2005-1.42-ghz.html[/url] A very useful application to have on your eMac is Mactracker, which is regularly updated to include the latest Mac computers. Enjoy your machine - I think my eyes are a slight jade colour. [/QUOTE]
