[QUOTE="FaithPuppeteer, post: 712764, member: 65001"] I'm looking at picking up a new iMac at some point this week and I am looking to get some advice in terms of what model in the line to pick up. Is there any credence to the argument that one should buy the best model one can afford at the time? I am currently looking at purchasing the 24-inch: 3.06GHz model; I am not sure I have an outstanding need for that much processor speed or hard drive space (although I do foresee my music collection growing beyond it's current ~60GB range; video accounts for about ~40GB). I would likely be using the computer for day to day work, school work and some possible video/music editing (I help out a friend's band online, so that may provide me with some additional work in that vein). I realize the above explanation of my needs may be vague and unfocused, but I'd be happy to clarify basically any point for anyone willing to offer some advice. Any advice/help that you can offer would be immensely appreciated! [/QUOTE]
