The british Macworld had an article I read last night which details the costs 
of the imac g5 ... pretty interesting. the ram and hard drive are pretty 
minor actually. apple is known to hobble computers on the low end so that people 
buy higher end stuff - i would only cost a few bucks more to add more slots for 
ram but they do it to make you jump up to the more expensive model.

Ram always comes down in price. We all have our stories of fortunes spent for 
tiny amounts of ram a few years ago. I am thinking to get 1 gig when I get a 
new mac. I think thats a usable size (what do you think?)... and then as 
prices drop, add a pair of gigs to get 3 gig.

I am not that concerned about 8 gig of ram.... when 8 gig of ram get cheap 
enough for my budget, it will be time to sell the G5 and get a G6.
