XS>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

Ah, same as me — those VMs really eat up the memory. I’ll also probably get Vista to run on relatively minimal memory just for testing when things get serious. Between the two I’ll be using probably 2.5 of my 4 GB (what I’ll have then).

Hopefully my memory needs won’t outgrow the 4 GB limit on the iMac. I can’t really justify a Pro. As it is, I waited to get an iMac until it could support 4 GB.

Yeah, it does, a little. I’m also running VMware, using a 1G machine, with no problems. With no explanation of what you were running earlier, I thought 5G was a little much.
