Buying new Mac - need advice?

Hi all. I already know I am getting a new iMac. Have been waiting for the upgrades in specs.





I am getting the 2.93 GHZ with 4G of memory.





Beyond that, I have two questions I need opinions on:





Graphics card: Ships with Nvidea GT120. The GT 130 is an extra $135, and the Radeon 4850 is $180. I do plan to play World of Warcraft, Diablo III and Starcraft 2 on it, but I don't necessarily need to max out settings. Do the graphics cards considerably help with internet video/netflix streaming and the like? Or is just for games or video editing?





Snow Leopard update: If I buy the computer now and the new OS comes out in a month or two, do I get a free upgrade or do I have to pay. i waited six months for the bump in specs - I could wait two more for the new OS if it's gonna cost me another $100 to upgrade. that's Apple's policy there?





THANKS for any advice!!!Buying new Mac - need advice?
Get the Mac with the least available amount of RAM. You can upgrade the RAM for a fraction of the cost that Apple charges and you can do it yourself. Go to Crucial.com and use their selector tool.





Graphic cards ar for games and video editing and playback. Won't help with internet streaming. Save $$$ on pre-installed RAM and get the better video option instead.





Yes, you'll have to pay the $129 (probably. that's how much all the other ones were). Nothing ever is free or cheap from Apple.Buying new Mac - need advice?
Try games on mac on my favorite place:








A lot of place selling quality game for Pc desktop ,playstation,mac you can check it out on this place www. downloadgames4. com . They have cheap price and community support and they even have 24 hours support if you download the games from them.





They also have discount price every month, so just look around on www. downloadgames4. com.
As far as the new OS coming out they usually will give an upgrade voucher if you're buying within about a month of the release date. I would just check with Apple to be 100% but I am pretty sure you have a 30 day window.
well i would invest in an ATI 4850. Its a top card and would be worth it.


ask in your apple shop what the conditions are concerning upgrade
