New iMac :)
woohoo! i just placed my order for one of the new Intel Core Duo based iMac's... this will be my first Mac experience, i've been a windows user ALL my life... I think it's the right change for me, i'm always getting stressed out with this thing crashing and always getting viruses.
Here's the specs... 17-inch widescreen LCD 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo w/ 2MB L2 cache 1GB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM 160GB Serial ATA HDD Slot-load 8x double-layer SuperDrive ATI Radeon X1600 w/ 128MB GDDR3 memory Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0 Wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse went with the 17-inch for price and travel purposes... i upgraded the RAM a little... and i choose the Mighty Mouse because i'm very dependent on the scroll wheel hahaha, wireless would have been real nice but no scroll wheel  .If there are any Mac users out there i'm very much open to your tips in making the transition  ...

Re: New iMac :)

Ive had quite abit experience with Macs now because we work with them At college in my Video class for editing videos etc. Good machines most of the time.

Re: New iMac :)
yea, everyone says they're amazing for video editing... but how the heck to you get videos on them in the first place??? no upgrade option for video-in... kinda pissed me off... i bought a Pinnacle Systems movie box ver. 9 like a month ago for my pc, but i don't think it's Mac compatible, which really sucks for me... do you know of any device I could get to do a line-in?

Re: New iMac :)
Ye their kickass for video editing.
To get videos on them you gotta have this dock tape player machine connected to the back of your mac ( thats if ur wanting videos from ur video camera ) A reason why your movie box aint working is maybe cause its only for macs ? Sometimes you can find ones that are compatible with pc's too.

Re: New iMac :)
no the movie box works amazing with my pc, but i don't think it's mac compatible, so i don't think it'll work on my new iMac... and when i get the iMac i'm giving my pc to my sister so i won't have any use for the movie box... i guess i'll be putting it up on ebay if it doesn't work.
and don't think i'm giving my sister a shitty pc lol... it's a dell laptop with a P4 3.20GHz w/ HT, 1.25GB Ram, 60GB hdd... i really didn't need to upgrade but i really want to change my OS.

Re: New iMac :)
Lol ah rite.
Ye best to try the movie box on the imac , if it dont work.. sell it. Best bet is to browse say something like Amazon to look for compatible movie boxes that may run with ur imac.
