[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1357430, member: 46727"] The iMac you referred to is one of the first Intel iMac models built. I don't see a problem with using it as long as you don't need it for intensive graphic work. Since it's limited to the Intel GMA 950 it means that it will borrow memory from the system. And the system memory on that model is limited to 2 GB. It may not have enough power to do much in the way of video editing though. The WiFi is OK since most modern routers and setups are compatible with 802.11g. Personally, I would opt for a newer machine that can hold more memory and has better graphics but of course that's going to be more money. [/QUOTE]
