[QUOTE="Vetteman, post: 76606"] I just bought my gorgeous 20' Imac, which I bought for cost because I work at CompUSA. I am formerly a Vaio user, fed up with spyware, etc and I plan on using Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash for web design. At Compusa I've sold so many Macs that I've actually convinced myself. :) This is especially after seeing my Mac customers and their satisfaction. Windows users seem much less satisfied with their experiences. I have some questions: I am a power user that needs quick response times and efficiency on the web for multitasking and web design. 1) Will adding a Kingston 512 mb ram chip increase the gui response and loading programs more quickly? It seems a tad bit sluggish for opening things like Safari and iTunes. 2) Can I multitask as efficiently with OS X versus Windows? I need to rapidly switch between programs- I want the best virtual ergonomics and usability. It seems like Mac users have extreme usage of key commands, vs Windows users? Is this true? Many people say Macs are easier to learn, but Windows was never hard for me to learn anyway. I hope Mac OS isn't simpler but lacking in features and ergonomics. I'm looking forward to my experiences with this wonderful platform, just a little daunted, temporarily :) Please clue me in, Thanks- Jesse [/QUOTE]
