[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1476078, member: 56379"] With the 27" iMac you can always add more ram on your own…but you cannot upgrade the processor after purchase. So I would say…buy the 3.2ghz model now…and add more ram later (if doing both now is not in your budget). Also remember that the 3.2ghz model comes with much better graphics hardware (1gig of vram vs. 512meg).:) - Nick p.s. Heck…the 3.2ghz i5 model can be upgraded to a 3.4ghz i7 cpu (on the configuration page). [/QUOTE]
