Hi all . I'm contemplating buying one of the new IMacs, either G5 or Dual Core, at 17'' or 19''. Has anyone been using them? How do they run SL? What should I be looking for? Be weary of? Can I put just any graphics card in them? If the graphics card is not upgreadeable, does anyone have any experience with the one shipping. Enabran Templar in the general forum just suggested that for SL I should just buy a Dual Core Intel and run Windows on it. I'm ready to do that. Is it a good idea ? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide  .

hi Stephane. I'm running the new iMac Intel Core Duo and have had no problems with it. I got more Vram put in (256 MB) and the card it comes with is great. I also had one 1 gig memory chip put in which leaves space for another 1 gig chip when I have the money/incliniation/need to put more in. My fps rate is fab now.
BootCamp seems to be running Windows well from what I read, but I've had no need to go that far.
Have fun!
