[QUOTE="papercut, post: 311873, member: 23399"] My son has a 17" iMac with 512MB. It runs OK for what he wants to do -- IM, Safari, and writing an occasional paper for school. For basic stuff, I'd guess that you'll be comfortable with 1gig. Of course, more is always better! If money is tight and since you don't seem to want to to a whole lot of stuff with photos and video, you might want to give 1G a try. You can always upgrade later and memory prices fluctuate but generally fall over time. Another option - go to an Apple store or retailer and give it a try. Find one with 1G and see how the apps feel. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
