The older RAM does seem to be more expensive than the new stuff but it aint that much more. Should speed it up considerably. Also, as opposed to sticking a replacement HDD in, would you not consider going down the SSD route? We have SSD in our Air and iMac and everything is instant.

It aint hard to change out the RAM. Crucial are the best/cheapest and have a computer scanner so that you cant order the wrong stuff (Basically run the scanner and it'll tell you what you can have).

Care to share where from. Google aint helping lol.

Nope. Even on the Kanex site the new iMacs aint listed as compatible due to the thunderbolt port replacing the older mini-display port. Kanex are working on a new converter but they have been for a while and no word as yet of a release date.

Kanex XD doesnt work on Thunderbolt equipped iMacs though.

I didnt think there were any such converters for HDMi to Thunderbolt on the new iMacs?

Gotta go for the 27". The extra screen space means you can do so much with apps running side by side not having to keep minimising or maximising windows. With the 27" you also get 2 thunderbolt ports as opposed to the 1 on the 21". With mainstream PCs adopting thunderbolt technology next year...

I cant seem to find the link but you definately could as I did.

If your on o2 you can unlock it for free on their site.

I picked up a trackpad at the Apple store and after a wee play I think its better for just playing around on tinternet and general system stuff on the iMac however for editing photos and the like the magic mouse is better. Also, the trackpad click is fudging loud lol.

I think I'll be going to the Apple store tomorrow and buying a trackpad. Not that the mouse is bad, just not quite right.

. 1) You won't see 10bhp mate. Be lucky to get 5 extra peak power. Though it is said that they do improve the midrange a lot ie. more drivable/useable power. 2) I have a ITG panel filter and it made hee haw difference. Either stick with standard or go for the V6 air box setup. However to...

Ours is a Cup so yeah, does have the Cup suspension. Though we have removed it in favour of some H&R coilovers.

Definitely feels a lot faster. Rolling road says only 4bhp though difference. Think I'll keep it as is for the time being and once she becomes primarily a trackday car I will start the trasformation from subtle daily driver to garish trackday car.

Had some photoshops done to try out a few new looks. What do you guys think? or I love both but prefer the red wheel'd pic lol.

Get it on the track, that'll help losen her up a bit. Our 200 is now on 21500 miles and does keep getting faster. We had it dyno'd @ 2000 miles and it produced 192.8bhp and 145.7lbft then has it done 8000 miles later and it produced 197.9bhp and 152.6lbft. So there is a definitive difference as...

Looks superb. Very similar to our 200 in looks but for the lack of cup suspension and we had the Cup spoiler painted black to go with the black roof.

Lol. Just that over on macrumours a lot of people have had issues coz Apple put some software/firmware in the HDD that controls the fan speed. Remove this and the fan always goes mental. Have you kept the standard HDD?

As in 2011 with Thunderbolt?

2011 iMac?

Not with any sort of ease. We got our 27" iMac a couple of months ago. We went for similar spec but also went for the 256Gb SSD. Maxed the RAM to 16Gb from Crucial. Tis a flying machine tbh.

I use RipIt to rip the DVDs then Handbrake to convert into Apple TV 2 format. Works well on iPhone 4, iPad 2 and the tv.

Do you have any pics of the new brakes under the Ultraleggeras? The 330mm brakes may be our next upgrade for our 200.

We have a fully spec'd 13" MBA. Got it about a month ago. It is lightening fast at everything. Only downside is the screen ain't as good as my old 15" MBP but you can't expect such a good screen on such a portable and efficient laptop. As long as you have your music library on another computer...

Nope. We got our 27" iMac bout a month ago now and before it arrived I ordered the 16GB from Crucial. Fitted the RAM 2 mins after I removed the iMac from its box and haven't had any issues.

Have you tried the "Software Update" from the Apple drop down menu like dk suggested?

Go with the 13" Air mate. They do get expensive if you want the biggest SSD (256Gb) and the best processor but its worth it. Since getting our Air, my old Pro doesnt get a look in.

Good that you got a new one. Was that an actual Apple store?

Thinking about buying one of these ATVs though I have one question: "I have just started ripping DVDs to my iMac then "Handbraking" them to Apple Universal format, importing them into iTunes and syncing them onto our iPhones and iPad. Movies work perfectly on these devices. My question is...

Why is the update so big through iTunes?
