I recommend anyone getting an iMac wack 2 badboy 1Gb's in there, not only do u get the 128 bit memory bollucks but u also get no page outs and nothing ever stalls, i have forgotten what the ol Spinning beach ball thingy looks like. Besides they are so cheap now, i got my memory for £150 from Crucial which was the same price as getting 2 X 512 in November

Hmm, that's good to know since I bought the base model and have gotten a fair amount of beachballs. I was going to wait until I needed more HD space to get extra RAM put in at the same time, but I might take it back to Apple sooner (I'm not opening it up myself!) once I have enough $ saved. Within a year in any case.

There are times when I definitely hear the fans but usually only when running certain programs (particularly P2P file sharing). Otherwise it's pretty quiet, so no real complaint. I love my iMac!
