- 2 iMacs 17+20" 2.16GHz 2GB RAM 500MB HDD 256MB Graphic card. 60Gig 5th gen iPod with Video
Hi,
I have a choice to make........
A
20" 2.16GHz iMac
with following specs
2Gig RAM
500GB HD
Graphic card 256
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Or
24" 2.16GHz iMac
1GB RAM
250GB HD
Graphic Card 128MB
Standard Keyboard and mouse
The price is about the same
The HD size may no be a problem as I'm thinking of an Extern HD anyway.
I Know the 24" has an 800 firewire port (I presume it's faster than the 400 version and that the screen is 30% brighter.
If I choose the 24" with the above specs can I upgrade at a later date ?
Can I do this myself (I'm a technician in Automatic systems)
Am I sacrificing spec for "Bling" ?
I will use the iMac for Photo work and hobbies that I have
Any input would help
Thanks
