I have to say I'm not impressed with the video performance on the new iMac. I just bought two for work thinking it they would be fine for content creation on Dreamweaver and Zend. Thing jerks alot when resizing windows, plus I notice when there is alot elements on screen my CPU goes to shitt. If 2D sucks on these I would hate to see a 3D game. Anyone else have any comments, 64mb is a joke.

    We've been bitching about the video card since the ThinkSecret rumors long before the iMac was released.

    How much memory do you have in these iMacs?

    I think it's extremely unlikely that the 2D performance of the iMac's video card is causing what you are experiencing, how much RAM do you have in those machines?

    1 gig of mem. Any suggestions how to make this faster. It's really jerky, reminds me of 10.1 on a iBook 500.

    So it reminds you of an iBook 500 with 10.1 and you think it's the hardware? That's logic for you
