iMac 24" or 20" 2.0 or 2.4 or 2.8

[everona]

I have been thinking of changing my Power Mac G5 (http://www.hopeinenomena.net/viewtopic.php?t=103238)
for an iMac 24", which one would you think is more appropriate for the following uses:

- Every day use (mail, internet, word, excell,...)
- A lot of digital pics
- light work on pictures
- gaming
- watching movies

The main reasons to change are that my baby wants to pull all the plugs and the iMac has only one, and that I can then run windows for the PC games.

Any good comments and advice??

All iMacs are excellent for you except the cheapest 20" 2,0GHz model.
Make it even better: buy more memory!

Isn't it so that the max memory you can have in the iMacs is 4Gb.

That is one thing I had already thought would be a must...

Then I think I'll probably get one like this:

* 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2 x 2GB
* 320GB Serial ATA Drive
* SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
* Apple Mighty Mouse
* Keyboard (Finnish) + Mac OS X (Finnish)
* ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory
* 24-inch glossy widescreen LCD
* AirPort Extreme
* Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR

Although it would be nicce to get my Power Mac sold first...

Why are you going to buy world's most expensive memory from Apple? Did you read my link at all?

It was just a quick way to put together the specs of what i thought to get... But no i didn't think of buying exactly those. Like you said they are the most expensive you can find
