- imac, 2.0 core 2 duo, 4 GB Ram, 320 GB HD
Here's my deal.
I'd like to get an imac sooner rather than later. I really can't afford the 24", am considering the 20" after saving for another month or two, or I could buy the 17" any day now. I currently have a three year old Compaq with a 2.0 pentium 4 that I've upgraded to 1 GB Ram & added an ATI Radeon X700 Pro 256 MB video card to. It has a 17" monitor, which is perfectly fine.
I'm thinking I could get the upgrade 17" with 2 GB Ram.... I know the card is smaller than what you can get on the larger-screened models, but I'm sure it will be much zippier than what I have now. I want to get into video editing, lots of music & whatnot.
Any thoughts from those who know macs better than I do? (i.e. anyone?)
