Well I finally purchased a new 27" iMac tonight I only got the i5 but it has 16GB of ram. Pretty excited to get it, probably be here thursday or friday next week. Now the waiting game. First Apple computer ever (except for iPhone) Tom
Wow! That is going to be an awesome system. Congrats and welcome to the Mac world!!!! Sent from my iPhone using iCafe app
Nice, I woulda got the i7 though, adds loads of extra speed, and runs the ram faster too! Mine is an 27" Core i7 8Gb ram 1Tb HDD Sent from my iPhone using iCafe app
I got just got the i3 but compared to my old acer runnin at 1.73 and win xp,,, it's blazing fast, lol,, I'm still shocked over the boot up speed. How many secs does the i7 take to boot?
Hate to say it tom but an i5 processor with 16GB kinda pointless just because I don't think your even going to be coming close to using all 16GB of ram and I would hate to see what that upgrade cost you if it went through apple.
It was a package deal at a great price, the ram comes in handy for some compilers I use when writing software. One package I write use to take 21 min to compile, now it takes 3! Tom
What? Please ignore any advice that tells you that x amount of RAM is too much. You can never have too much memory.
Yeah I agree you can never have enough ram just would have been nice to get the i7 with 16gb ram then you would have really been cooking. You could have got the i5 with 8gb of ram and you still would have been fine. Like Dave said though you can never have enough ram.
Wow only if I could get the 27"...have fun with that one amazing spec that is..I got the 21" and never gone back to Windows but then again I set up boot camp and loaded windows on JUST INCASE I ever need it lol Congrats on the purchase..good luck
