I use my computer for seriously heavy media. I have thousands of pictures and I edit them all in Photoshop Elements. I download and watch HD videos multiple times a day. I also run multiple applications at a time, typically Photoshop Elements, Rhapsody, iTunes, and the internet all at once. Lastly, I play the occasional game, like The Sims 2 (or 3, soon).

So the question is, do I go iMac or Mac Pro? I've definitely decided on a Mac desktop. I've gone through a series of awful PCs, each one more useless than the previous. I'm currently using an outdated 2 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop that is a piece of junk. The thing crashed 3 months after I got it and hasn't been the same since. After spending a hundred bucks getting it diagnosed, I was told it had bad RAM.

Anyway, any advice would be much appreciated. Price isn't much of an issue, but I would prefer not spending an arm and a leg (obviously).

Thanks!
Thanks corpow! that was SUPER helpful!
 
For the extensive work you seem to be doing on Photoshop i suggest that you get a Mac desktop (Mac Pro) This will have a much larger RAM than the iMac, and it will be exactly what yu need when you start to get a lot more images. It will also reduce lag.

But always go with APPLE. It is WAYYYYY better than PCs
