I think the new i mac is pretty safe choice you will be limited to two slots for ram right now thats 2 gig max in theory limiting but in practice probably not so much . Another is the LCD not meant to be as good as there other monitors but looked just fine to me , but I found the default setting on my imac g3 work just fine every thing matching up nicely ....also check the Apple Certified Reconditioned Products on the apple site .......

I have used mostly PC's in my work but my spouse has a G4 and I like using it for working with photoshop and Nikon software. I'd like to know if we have G5 users on the group and if so, are the users pleased? >From what I understand, the G5 is a terrific machine for graphics and manipulation of large graphic files if you have ample memory. I''ll probably go with the 1.8mhz processor. If I had and was willing to spend it, the stand along G5 with dual processors looks sweet but given the way I'll be using mine (not for profit...hobby type work), I'm thinking the G5 iMac would be the best solution for me. I use a Nikon D70 and will be getting a scanner for use with my M6. Thoughts? Thanks, Robert Clark Lancaster, PA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
