Right now I am using this Dell Dimension that I got in 2000 so it's really time to change. 19.1 gigs is just not enough memory, even with cable it moves slow, etc. I can live with my old monitor, keyboard and mouse - what do you guys recommend. My webmaster is trying to talk me into an Apple (maybe the mini or iMac?), my other buddy refurbishes HP PCs. What do you guys think?

Ditto. Money well spent. You'll get your money's worth right there. Those new iMacs are pretty sweet: http://www.apple.com/imac The iMacs are a little more expandable than the minis. You'll want the full two gig memory upgrade for audio recording. I know a guy that can get you a pretty good deal.

Besides, I need someone else on here to have iChat as well.

Would this be good or NPGMC downloads/videos?

Works fine for me though I wouldn't recommend buying a computer built on entirely different technology soley on NPGMC.

Absolutely 's and 's.

It looks like a landslide for the Mac. Can you orgnote me and let me know what kind of deal I can get? Whatever I get is gonna have to be one year same as cash...lol!

I'm afraid the Mac mini will only be a tease to you. I highly suggest the iMac at the very least. On the flip side, it's really afordable and you can use your current monitor, keyboard and mouse with it.

But I have this feeling, you'll be wanting more after getting it and it's just not that expandable.

I talked to Cliff...I'll probably go with the iMac

artist08 said:

No kidding? Did you tell him I sent you?

yamomma said:

I did. That's why the deal is good enough that I'm considering the iMac

Apple is the way to go. MAC Mini is great. Any MAC G4 or G5 wikk do you right.

I got a used G4 a couple of months ago off ebay for $289.

I particularly like the NEW ones
