the only Apple product I own is an iPod. I'm so fed up with PCs that I'm about to buy my first mac, and I'm excited about the new iMac announcement. so sorry if this is a dumb question,

but about upgrading RAM, will the stock 1gb have CL of 4 or 5? I want to buy RAM from Crucial or NewEgg to bump the new system to 2gb but I don't want to buy the wrong kind.

Do people out there have major doubts about buying this iMac's revA? or is it more of just an upgrade of RevC?

thx for any info you can give a newbie.

Mini-DVI now.

Now I just need to wait for Rev. B and more games to be released for Intel or get universal binary patches. I like the power but my software needs to catch up.

Crucial have the memory listed already. Just buy in confidence from them - they offer full mac compatability guarantee...

oh thanks. I checked earlier but obviously they've updated since then.
