[QUOTE="04wrxsti, post: 1010002, member: 146056"] I'm relatively new to apple. First it was the iphones, then for x-mas I bought my son a mac book air 2.13 with the ssd drive. He seems to love it over the dell he had. I never really get to touch the thing until he needs to learn how to use something....but it is just nice from the second you unbox it till you put it away. Now my wife just started getting into photography and bought a new slr but now she wants an imac because of the monitor and design. (I want it too, dont really need it but an excuse is an excuse!)We primarily use our computers for surfing the web but she wants to use it to edit photos etc, nothing big. I want to make sure I get something that will be good for a few years. We were looking at three models: 1) 27" 3.06 4gb of ram 1tb hd std imac. 2) 27" 3.06 8gb of ram 1tb hd std imac. 3) 27" Quad core 2.66 4gb of ram 1tb hd std quad model. My question is the 8gb of ram really faster over the std 4gb of ram. Also for what I'm using it for is the quad core faster over the std 4b model or even 8gb model. I was leaning towards the 8gb ram model but dont want to waste money if they arent that different. She constantly complains our computer is slow. I use at&t uverse internet service which gets me 18mbps service. They now have a 24 mbps so maybe i can upgrade, but i just want to make sure the thing is fast. I'm not really a computer person so I would really appreciate everyones advice and feedback. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
