Ready to take the plunge

I will be joining the PC to Mac community soon and getting a new 27" iMac. One thing just struck me though. I have a Linksys wireless router. Will this be compatible with my iMac or will I need some new piece of hardware?

Also, coming from a couple of crappy Dell computers that never really ran Sims 3 well at all, if I go with the $1999 27" i5 with 4 gig of RAM, will I finally be able to play my Sims with high quality graphics?

Any input is appreciated!

Awesome! Yeah your current router should be no problem, they are OS-independent.

The Sims 3 should run fine, assuming the version you have is compatible with Mac OS, and yeah, the graphics should be pretty awesome too!

Yay! Thank you so much!

You will be fine playing The Sims 3 on one of these new iMac's, even my early 2008 iMac model plays it flawlessly!

New imacs out today

I guess I should have waited to get my Imac a few more weeks, The i3 27 inch was kind of neat until I found out it was now three weeks later a Good paper weight. But the one out today will be thrown out in a few months again. I will replace this one with a new Intel Quad Core i7 Windows 7, I dont like the way Apple dumps products so fast.

You are right. A yearly product refresh cycle is too frequent. And MR hasn't been pointing to new iMacs this month for the past 6 weeks or so.

Yes, all of the other manufacturers like Dell and HP wait a couple of years between refreshes. *sarcasm*

Wait until Lion is released before buying the iMac. Also, pay $100 for the 2GB graphics upgrade.
