Hi Jas, Macers:
From all accounts the iMac has cornered the market on reliability and
quietness between the two. However there are other issues to be
considered when choosing one over the other. As I understand it the
eMacs CRT has the advantage of multiple resolutions, better color
fidelity and being better for games and movies. Also, there are some
differences concerning cost, the iMac Combo Drive is $400 (US) more
than the eMac Combo Drive. Plus the RAM for the top slot (Apple
installed) is about double the cost of the RAM for the the lower slot
(user installed). Whereas, the eMac on the other hand uses the same
lower cost RAM in both slots, which are both user accessible. So,
maxing out the RAM on an eMac would cost considerably less. As much
as I like the iMac I think that it is too expensive for our budget.
