[QUOTE="Dylanyouto, post: 910839, member: 71680"] The Mac Pro is a great computer, but for what you need it for it is just to much. It's mainly for people who really need a lot of power. For example its like saying you need to move a heavy table so instead of calling all you buddies to help out, you hire a crane. It is just overkill. Best way I can put it lol. The iMac is your best choice. The iMac will let you play music, store tons of photos, surf the web, and do a lot more stuff at the same time. You should have no problems with the machine slowing down at all. Just to give you a comparison, I use a 2.4ghz Macbook with 2gb's of ram and I am able to surf the web, edit movies (which takes a lot of "juice" from your computer), and listen to music without my computer slowing down at all. The iMac's are normally more powerful than the Macbook's so you would be able to do even more. As far as hard drive space. Get whatever comes with your iMac and then invest in external hard drives. You can buy a 1TB external hard drive that will plug into your iMac via USB for about 100 dollars. To give you an idea, a 1TB hardrive will hold 200,000 digital photos. Best fo luck with your future purchase! Let us know how you like it. [/QUOTE]
