[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1941013, member: 234411"] Note: [B]Jake [/B]has just given you some great advice which posted as I started the message below. Hi again [B]Poppi[/B] - thanks for the information, esp. on the 'new' M3 iMacs being considered - you know I bought my wife a M3 iMac a few months ago with specs given above, so depending on your budget, get as much as possible; [I]RAM:[/I] 8 GB vs. 16 GB - 8 should do if you're a typical user (plenty on the topic if you want to search); I upgraded to 16 'just in case'? [I]Storage: [/I]256 GB a bare minimum - if you want to add your 65 GBs of photos (and depending on your apps, music, etc.), I'd agree w/ Jake that 512 GB would be a recommended upgrade (as I did). As to the ports, comments have already been provided but certainly go with the TB ones (and keep in mind that a hub can be added if needed). Once your decision is made on the new iMac, the next question is how to transfer your old machine to the new one. Dave [/QUOTE]
