Not sure if it's in the correct category...
Currently, i'm mostly using my iMac to just play games, and that's pretty much it except for some work, which is much less than my playtime. However, the 4GB RAM that's installed is too low and barely above the minimal requirement for most games these days (since only 2.23 is usable because i'm running on windows 7 32-bit).
Since I've had this computer for almost 2 years now, I would imagine it'd be time for me to change (after some research that most computers last around 2 years or so).
However, it would be much cheaper to just increase the ram by putting in 2x4GB.
Current specs:
Processor: Core i5-2500S 2.70GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB (2.23 usable) (2x2GB)
System type: 32-bit
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6700M
So, should I buy a new computer built specifically for gaming? Or just stick with the iMac and upgrade it's ram? (in doing so i'll have to upgrade it to 64-bit to use all that delicious ram)
