So, Amanda, if you're reading this and > want to trade for an Intel iMac that will boot both 10.4.10 and > 10.5.6, let's talk. Heh-heh. :^) > > Jim Yeah, it's one of the new ones and came with Leopard. The migration assistant seemed to transfer most of the things I wanted, however my Adobe apps complain about being moved and require a "permissions change" before starting up!? They work okay, just need an extra step (or two) to get going. I upgraded the ram to 4 GB. Fry's had a Crucial ram kit for $44.95. To be honest, I don't see much difference, but I haven't really had a lot of things going on yet. I ran xbench before and after and that noted some improvements in performance. My s...@home client seems to be cranking out workunits a little faster... of course that may just be my perception because with more ram it simply =must= be working better!!! ;-) I have to say, it's an excellent machine and I'm glad I took the plunge. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is the placement of the optical drive slot. It's just a little hard to find without leaning way over to see it. Still... I don't see how they could have done it any differently.
