I understand where you're coming from. I saw the new 24" iMac in person when I got my MacBook Pro at a local Mac store. It is awe-inspiring, to say the least. Almost made me reconsider where my money was going.

The Apple Store is great. Service is good and shipping is cheap (usually free for computers). However I would
strongly advise you NOT to purchase additional RAM with your computer from the Apple Store online. They charge a
lot of money for RAM --
way more than they need to. For example, if I had ordered a MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM instead of 2 GB, they would have charged me an additional $750. I can buy 4 GB of RAM myself for only $230. You are much better off buying RAM and installing it yourself as it will save you a lot of money. RAM is supposed to be pretty easy to install in the new iMacs, so you should probably try it yourself. If you really can't do it, any Apple Authorized Reseller in your area will be able to help. Probably even Best Buy, although I'm not totally sure.
