This computer includes between 1GB and 3GB of RAM, our recommended level for a new PC. This much memory lets you run any modern operating system and comfortably work with quite a few applications open. The more installed memory your PC has, the more programs you can run smoothly at once, and the better the system will perform. Upgrading memory in a desktop after you purchase the PC is a breeze, but usually it's worthwhile to buy the amount of memory you want preinstalled with the system.
To use more than 4GB of memory on your PC, you need the 64-bit version of Windows XP or Windows Vista. The PCs that you see equipped with 3GB of memory (instead of 4GB) tend to use the 32-bit versions of Windows that are limited to 4GB of addressable memory, the top portion of which is addressed by the various hardware devices on the system.
Duration of ownership:
Strengths: MAC IS WAY OVERRATED. I'VE OWNED 4 (QUAD CORE, G4,G5 AND POWER BOOK) POWER BOOK WAS MUCH BETTER FOR THE MONEY THEN THIS HIGH PRICED TUNA FISH CAN!
Weaknesses: UPDATES CRASH COMP & GIVE KERNAL VIRUS. YOU MUST PAY MAC TO UNDO IT FOR YOU.DOESN'T WORK WELL WITH OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WERE NOT CREATED ($$$)BY MAC. MY PRO TOOLS 8 KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN.
Overall Evaluation: WHEN I CALL MAC CUSTOMER SERVICE, I GET SOME HEAVY ACCENT WITH AN ATTITUDE BECAUSE I CANT MAKE OUT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.WHEN YOU HAVE COMP TROUBLE AND YOU CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE LAST THING YOU WANNA DO IS BE LOST IN TRANSLATION BECAUSE YOUR CALL IS REROUTED TO PAKISTAN! IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A MAC, DON'T FEEL LEFT OUT. APPLE DOES A GREAT JOB OF PROMOTING THESE THINGS BUT AFTER HAVING 4 OF THEM, I STILL PREFER MY PC. I WENT TO THE 24 HOUR MAC STORE IN NYC @ ABOUT 10PM DURING THE WEEK AND IT WAS LIKE A NIGHTCLUB OF PERVS, NERDS AND SOCIAL MISFITS. I HAD A STRANGE OLD MAN HITTING ON ME WHILE THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIT ME IN AROUND 5AM IF I HANG AROUND. BOTTOM LINE, IF YOU WANNA OVERPAY FOR A PC, GET CUSTOMER SERVICE RUNAROUND AND LOSE IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS WHEN THIS COMP KNOCKS YOU OFF DA NET THEN, BUY THIS COMPUTER!
