I'm defnitely going to a Mac, all I want is a machine that works which I don't have to reformat every 6 months!
I'm considering the iMac (either 20" or 24", mmmmm!) but am being swayed by the mac pro. I don't want to spend more than £1500 (GBP) if I can help it. I currently use a PC and my main tools are Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
I don't really care if it takes an extra 2 seconds to apply that Gaussian Blur filter, I just want a system that works.
I currently use a 19" Iiyama flat panel monitor (19"). I'm guessing that I could use this monitor (DVI out enabled) with a Mac Pro with no problems?
If I bought an iMac I would upgrade to 2GB RAM and 256MB Video. If I got the basic Mac Pro I would keep the 1GB RAM and it comes with a 256MB Video anyway.
Any opinions? Particularly on the monitor compatibility and the performance of the Pro with 1GB. As I say I don't mind waiting a little longer for tasks to complete, I just want stability and reliability. And I guess the Pro is upgradeable anyway.
Does it make sense to go for the pro if I already have a compatible monitor? (if indeed it is! This is the monitor at this link).
