@munsheng,
The information u've asked is available on LYN - just do a quick search and u'll get the info - don't even need to bother to google it !! *gulps*

Well, just a tip - the iMac RAM's 'interchangeable' with my MBP RAMs - go figure out what that means [i don't like spoon feeding, unless I'm at the v end of the spoon! *hAHahAHahA*]

As to the graphic cards ... well, i'll go for the 256MB ATI RADEON 2600 PRO. Whatever it means, I've no idea but I would assume the 256MB one is better than the 128MB one and muAhahAHahAHahHAhaHAHahAH if affordability is no issue, i always like to go for the best

i wonder why you didn't go for the 17" MBP then....

not enough budget?

i didn't know you're her boyfriend....

portability issues, perhaps?? Some people (including myself) would pick the smaller & lighter 15" for the sake of better portability, despite there being a 17" one...

back to the topic....

munsheng, yes the ram used in the new imacs are the same as notebook ram, but take note that there's lots of types of notebook memory... for the the new imacs you should look for 667MHz DDR2 (PC2-5300) SO-DIMM memory modules... The imac has 2 memory slots, which can take up to 2gb each, for a total of 4GB ram...

It seems like you're considering between the two 20" models... I'd pick the 256mb ati radeon hd 2600 pro over the 128mb ati radeon hd 2400 xt, which means buying the 2.4GHz model... The extra RM1000 is worth it, if you ask me... If display quality and color accuracy is your concern, u might wanna consider the 24" 2.4GHz.... The screen is not only bigger, but the LCD panel is 24-bit, compared to 18-bit panels used for the 20"...

off topic again....

another boyfriend of hers....?

pun intended...

"display quality and color accuracy"
from a glossy display?
eh Eithanius, looks like people still don't get it, huh? iMac is a consumer Mac. if you need colour accuracy, don't buy a glossy display

@Eithanius,
I certainly have no idea I'd accumulated so many bf's on AppleByte! I didn't go for the 17" MBP because I couldn't afford it (affordability WAS an issue!) and I had no intentions of lugging around something that heavy - I'm oredi complaining about the current weight of the 15" MBP !!! *grins*

@xaw5126,
Perhaps he wants to check colour accuracy of the actual printed work [printed with UV/gloss finished?] *grins*

lolx.... Thank god I abandoned the imac + mbp combo plan.... Though I missed my old imac g5....

In case you wanna chuck your mbp away for something less, do take note that I'm the interested fella at the receiving end...

I'm planning to get 13.3" Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz (White) and planning to upgrade the RAM to 2 Gig. How much do you think is the one piece 1 gig ram?

Ram upgrade can be done by ourself.
Check lowyat's shop price list and you get the price.

@Eithanius,
It doesn't look as if I'm going to abandon this MBP of mine anytime soon - though i still haven't taken it back to the shop to get my On/Off button fixed [i should get that done soon before I get into trouble but muahHAhaHAHaha LAZY lah!] but the thought of not having the MBP with me is a problem especially since my entire 'office' travels with me most of the time *grins*

guy
do u think normal Value Ram latency is same with the MF expensive Kingston so called KTA series ram?
