[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1284212, member: 17931"] 4GB of RAM will cost you under $40. Try that first. Another thing to try is an SSD. 120gb is about $200, and you keep all the archived/infrequently used files on an external drive. I did that and it made a huge difference on my 2006 Intel iMac. It is almost instantaneous opening files and starting apps. If you really want that 27" iMac though, I wouldn't blame you. They are the machines I'm always drawn to when I visit the Apple store.
