Hello out there!
My iMac is a 2.66 ghz ( 4 gigs ram) early 2008.
I d'ont use my mac for specifics tasks like adobe products or even editing tools. nor I oft play game ( sometimes call of or 3D shooter).
Sometimes I need photoshop. But a few programs are running in the background; air video server, eyetv for live tv streaming, iTunes films library for streaming to the Apple tv.
Converting and importing movies using the hardware legato Turbo 264 HD, downloading movies and songs, oft importing photo to iPhoto or Aperture 2.
Also i do some backup with time machine on en external hard drive but believe it or not the iMac comes to get tired spinning ball coming more often and if I want to open up
excel file ( including macros) that's enough for the iMac...
So to get short,
I don't game much ( but when I do everything must be ok )
I don't use much programs like Adobe suite ( but when I do everything must run smoothly)
I do use many programs ( some of them background one) at the same time
Considering all that, I was wondering if should go for a MacPro ( 2.66 ghz or 2.8 ghz) or even a new mac mini core i7 bur as stated when I am playing game it must be all right
What do you think guys
thank you
