Hi All, I finally broke down and bought a new Mac. Okay... all the Macs I've bought have been new =to me=, but this one is like really new... I'm owner number one.
It's the iMac 20" 2.4GHz model. I =really= want the 24" 3.06 GHz, but do I really NEED it. No prolly not. I'm a little amazed at the performance increase over my G4/1.6GHz. Gregory wasn't a slouch, but Irving (the iMac) just screams! He has 1GB ram... would increasing to 2GB show a significant performance boost? I don't do a lot of heavy graphics/video/audio work... mostly watching movies while working on an occasional spreadsheet. Lastly... can an Intel Mac boot Tiger... and do it from an external Firewire drive? I ask because I have a few apps that aren't upgraded for Leopard. On the G4 running 10.5 , I could boot from the external drive with 10.4 and run them. Thanks for any advice....
