But it is nice to have a 64bit OS. And it is pretty cheap. I am not sure about Lion, it is iphone and Ipad meets mac. Not sure I want a apps type mac.

I jump on aperture 3 when it was first released. Had to deal with the problems until they got the updates out to fix the crashing issues. And other goof stuff. With the OS, I do not think I would jump in as quickly. Traveling is my passion, so I am a major Frequent Flyer.

What is your iMac's model identifier? (Found from Apple > About This Mac > More Info and will be something like iMac3,1). What OS do you have now? shoturtle wrote in post #11728964 yes it frees up allot of HDD space, that alone is worth it. What do you mean it frees up more hard drive space? But it is nice to have a 64bit OS. The utility of a 64-bit OS may not be meaningful in this instance. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

So allot of the redundant files and stuff form leopard are deleted giving you a decent chuck of your HDD back for other things. Traveling is my passion, so I am a major Frequent Flyer.
