Mine started running well with 5G of ram.

Good grief. And here I am running perfectly well and smooth on my Lintel machine with only 2G of RAM.

If you compare Apples to Apples :

Mine has 4 CPUs each with a 1300mHz buss
and OBTW running VMware with XP nailing up 784K of ram.

Does that change the comparison ?

Yes each CPU has one G of memory

and the virtual machine for XP has one G of memory

The iMac ran fine on 1 GB with the normal apps running. It's real quick after adding another 2 GB though, even with several hungry apps running. I'll probably go up to four when I get heavy into video editing and running XP in the VM for development.
