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? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide .

Don't waste the money on the G5. The Core Duo model will let you boot Windows if need be and is generally faster so long as you're running code compiled to make proper use of the processor.
The graphics card is not upgradable, so choose a configuration at purchase with sufficient graphics meat for your needs.
