Also performance difference between 2Gb and 4Gb of RAM was very
marginal.
Thanks Rob for this info. It's interesting reading. Did they ever
resolve why the Halo gaming scores were so low? I don't game but
know others who do and these results are significantly lower than
the previous (to the last model) iMac performance, across the board.
E.g. 32 fps v 126 fps.

Dear WAMUGgers
If I was *tempted* to buy a new iMac 24" 3.06GB at Apple Ed price
of $2787, would it be good value to upsize to 4GHz RAM instead of
2GHz (2 x 2 GHz v 2 x 1GHz) for an extra $269.50, and to upsize
the HDD from its 500GB to 750GB [Plus A$ 135.30] or to 1TB [Plus A
$ 333.30]? I'm not really worried about upgrading to wireless
mouse and keyboard at this time.
The specs look Ok to me out of the box for what we currently need,
but I've always subscribed to the good advice of getting the
highest specs we can at purchase.
AND here is a URL to benchmarks that say extra RAM equals faster Mac

Would it be better to update later, if needed, with Apple or non-
Apple hardware?
Daniel, other? Just dreaming but Elaine's Ruby iMac is getting
very slow with Tigger and all her digital pics and rellie's PPTs
on board. We'll need a new baby to do it all on one day soon.
