[QUOTE="baggss, post: 211302, member: 6762"] It seems to me, and this is just my opinion, that getting an iMac to run windows is a waste of time. I buy Macs because I prefer OSX over XP/Win2K any day of the week. That being said, I'm hearing rave reviews of Apples hardware from the PC world now that you can run XP on it, but remember, things like graphics are not upgradable on the iMac. If your big thing is playing games, the iMac will be ok for a while, but will likely become dated rather fast. I have never added RAM to the current version of the iMac, but I would buy no more than 1Gb from Apple and upgrade the rest yourself. It can't be that hard to do. Never heard of ADC, so I can't really say... As I said above, this may be a wast of your time. It sounds like you just want the nice hardware, which is OK, but OSX is what Makes Macs special IMHO. If your not willing to switch and buy new software, a rather daunting task to be sure, then you may just want to stick with a nice PC in your budget range and not bother with a Mac. [/QUOTE]
