[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1554163, member: 56379"] Ok...that helps.:) If you go to Apple.com...you will see that there are just two standard configurations for the 27" iMac...and honestly...there's not much difference between them. The more expensive configuration has a slightly faster cpu (not significant really)...and the more expensive configuration has 2gig of graphics ram (vs. 1gig in the lower end model). Beyond this...the lower model can be configured with more ram, and additional storage. The higher end iMac can be configured with more ram, more storage, and/or a faster cpu. But you can simply stick with the standard configurations...so there are only two choices. If you don't do a lot of graphics work...just choose the lower end model.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
