[QUOTE="elambing, post: 525385, member: 41437"] hi, i know there are probably a billion topics regarding this subject, but i was wondering if someone who actually owns a mac could help me out with some practical stuff. i am/will be new to macs, but the pc that i run now just isnt cutting it any more. vista looks like it would be a disappointment and i am just sick of windows as a whole. so, of course, i want to purchase a mac. but im having trouble finding what will be right for me. first of all, i want a computer that is well rounded. i take advantage of a lot of things, meaning that i play games, browse media, work, IM and many other things. i am mainly looking for speed in a new computer, but compared to my current system anything looks fast. space isnt to much of a concern for me, 80 gigs is more than enough. so the mac mini seems like a good option at first glance because i already have a working display, keyboard, mouse, etc. but the tech specs dont seem very revolutionary to me. im not too picky when it comes to computers, but i do want to get the most bang for my buck. [COLOR="Orange"][COLOR="Orange"]does leopard run (just as) well on a mini as it does on any other mac?[/COLOR][/COLOR] or does that jump to an imac really make a difference? i have more questions but need to gather my thoughts first. thanks in advance PS: is it possible to add RAM to an existing mac? i already own 1 gig of it that i bought for my current computer(a pc)- would that work with a new mac?
