Considering an iMac but need some convincing and have some questions:
I use a computer for web surfing, email and other general stuff. I do not store large video files, very little music, no video editing etc. What I do like to do is play some games, currently Doom III. The PC I have now from 2010 is slowing down and has developed so much lag in the game it is now unplayable. It was never great, but now I can't play anymore.
I am looking at the 21.5 model and would like to know:
-Should I get the RAM upgrade?
-Is there really a noticeable difference with the 2.9?
-I like the wireless keyboard idea but I use the number keypad all the time. Is there a wireless keyboard with that feature?
-Are four USB slots enough? Currently I have a printer, mouse, keyboard, camera cable, phone (usb) cable. I'd get the wireless mouse so that is one less. I have a powered USB hub. Would that work?
-If I partition with Windows can I just copy my hard drive from the PC, or do I need to by a separate new copy of Windows?
Other thoughts?
