[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 739566, member: 13556"] My MBP runs at 2.2 GHz with 16 GB of RAM, so I understand a bit of the limits of your current machine. Are you familiar with Other World Computing (OWC), at [URL]https://eshop.macsales.com[/URL] ? I've always purchased the min RAM I could get when I purchased an iMac and got additional memory from OWC, then installed it myself. They also sell additional upgrades, as well as refurbished computers. Unless the newest model iMac has a feature that you really need or want, I'd look at a high end phaseout model when purchasing an Apple computer. Last year, I was able to save more money than switching my car insurance to GEICO by buying an older model, still getting a fast (3.4 MHz) processor and a very good graphics card. Initially, it had 8 GB of RAM, to which I've added 32 GBs for a total of 40, and it handles whatever I ask of it quite well. By adding the RAM myself, I saved about $400 over purchasing the computer with that much RAM from Apple. Your requirements are surely different than mine, but when buying an iMac, I now always make sure to get one that I can add RAM to myself. Surely, though, you'll like the 27-inch iMac when you get it. What upgrades do you expect to want for it when you get it? WM [/QUOTE]
