So what are you getting FFS?

Get the 27" top of the line iMac, then buy the ram to upgrade it from Crucial. Simples.

I've had the 24" i Mac (white) for 4-5 years now, stills runs as fast as the first day I bought it, I would love to move to the 27" but I just cannot justify it.

Why can't my mac just fail,

iMAC 27" top of the line of course. I am a contractor not a permie.

Is the Snow Leopard upgrade worth it? I've got Leopard but have noticed the upgrade packs are pretty cheap, will i notice any difference?

I used Leopard on a brand new MacBook 13" Core 2 Duo at ClientCo two years ago, and it put me off upgrading my own MacBook Core Duo: there were a few points at which it felt as if it was overstraining the machine, and a few bugs (although this was version 10.5.1, later 10.5.2 IIRC).

Given that Snow Leopard was primarily focused on performance improvements, and I needed at least Leopard for iPhone development, I recently upgraded my MacBook and can say that even on this comparatively old machine, Snow Leopard is excellent

I will say though - that Macs generally ship with the minimum acceptable amount of RAM, and the store prices for RAM + installation are a brazen rip-off. Buy from Crucial instead and install it yourself.

When I got my MacBook I ordered the RAM upgrade from Crucial's UK web site at about half four in the afternoon. It arrived in the first post the next morning

What a loser.

Guru, is there anything that anyone could say ever that would ever elicit anything other than a churlish response from you.

I live to find out what it is, now back to your alphabettie spaghetti this instant before the nurse comes in

And if you have an older Mac, Crucial have a downloadable app (CrucialMacScanner) which tells you exactly what sort of memory your system needs and how much it can take.
