27" iMac i7 2.93Ghz, 120Gb SSD, 2Tb, 16Gb, 1Gb 5750....*NEW WOW VID 2!!!*

[SpitUK]

Yes, perfect.

It runs much faster than my girlfriends actual PC which is a dual core, 2gb win 7 PC.

...it is still a great way to speed up non SSD based machines.

Yup. Just load stuff and leave it loaded.

Spielbergs got no worries!

sorry im a big mac noob i guess but in that window when u keep switching windows .. what is that ? expose ??

and im really tempted to change my stock 1tb drive to my owc 120gb ssd that i have here as well as adding a 2tb drive .. how hard is this .. because its an all in one .. im very scared something wont work

 

[SpitUK]

The feature is called spaces. Its built in to OSX and I use it all the time, one of my favourite features on the mac.

It isnt the easiest thing to do and if you have no knowledge then I would not attempt it.

thanks

well ive worked on computers for a long time .. but never with all-in-ones .. that is why im kinda worried .. i think if im going to start swapping stuff i should just send it to OWC lol

 

[SpitUK]

I had worked on PC's for years but not all in ones. In that case I would just go for it

 

[jetjaguar]

how much does all your installed programs take up on your 120gb ssd ?

 

[SpitUK]

About 90gb. Bear in mind though that wow takes up 30gb of that!!

yea that is my only worry about putting an ssd in is the space .. granted i dont have alot of programs at all .. just office 2k11 .. i dont bootcamp ..
wow .. and prollly abode sweet and maybe fcs .. which might be too much

i love this imac but i absolutely HATE the standard hd ..

 

[SpitUK]

I was the same, but its been perfectly manageable.

On mine I have:

Parallels 6 with Win7 & Office 2010
iWork 09
iLife 11
Office 2011
Photoshop CS5
Aperture 3
Warcraft
Omnifocus

You will be fine.

 

[jetjaguar]

thanks for all the info .. i dont think im brave enough to do it myself .. i have an owc ssd but owc wants me to buy a new one lol

i wish there was a plae in nj that would do it for me

Come down in price!!

16GB RAM is actually a lot of fun. I ordered 16GB from JR.com last week ($190 shipped during the holiday madness!) for my 2009 iMac and just installed it a few minutes ago. Amazing how much RAM can be used when the OS wants to. Just running the memory test "Rember" on it as I type this. Not sure how else to best test the memory, but yeah, 16GB is pretty awesome.
