[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 311776, member: 21285"] 1 Gb would be alright if you just use it for internet and mail, you'll be fine. If you plan on installing Windows or gaming, I would recommend looking into 2Gb. I started out with 1Gb, just doing pretty average stuff, and then I decided I needed 2 gigs. I just got mad at the load times. It made a huge difference though. I guess [B]you[/B] would have to weigh the cost vs. performance you want out of it. [B]Edit: [/B]I wasn't thinking, and forgot that iMacs have graphics cards. I am used to my MacBook with shared RAM for the graphics. You would probably be better off than I made it sound. Sorry, I had a senior moment. :) [/QUOTE]
