I want it mainly for editing photos in LightRoom and some very light gaming. The main game I'm interested in is the New Sim City that comes out in March. Will the base iMac work for me or will it blow up due to the 5400rpm hard drive and 640 gpu?

What system specs are you targeting with the Mac version?
Like the PC version, we are aiming to make the game as accessible as possible. Any user with Snow Leopard and a Core 2 processor will be able to enjoy SimCity for Mac.
I am not sure on that game, the only thing I would say on the base model is since you cannot upgrade the ram yourself, I would make sure to get 16 gigabytes of it.
They charge quite a lot for it as a percentage of the system cost. I'm in debate on that one. The last versions of OSX have been extremely memory hungry, so 8 might be painful if you're loading up huge folders. I'm not entirely sure though.

So you really think I need 16gb RAM to run Lightroom and Sim City?
What if you start using photoshop or a new lightroom update becomes memory hungry. Or some other photo editing program that is heavy duty.
You never know or can plan for the future.
At least with 16 gigabyte of rams, you become a little bit more future proof.
It just stinks that you can not upgrade it yourself.
