Macs work OK with 256Mb, but 512Mb would just give you that extra bit of headroom. 40Gb is fine if you've got a fileserver already, too.

My G3 iMac shipped with 64Mb ... now it's up to 640Mb thanks to the nice people at
www.crucial.com. Upgrading Mac memory is nice and easy (well, with an old iMac anyway) and well worth the extremely modest cost. It's kept my tired old G3 going well past its sell-by date anyway.
I'm really tempted by this new Mac. I have all the peripherals I need except the monitor (and I can get one of those easily enough), so it means an upgrade without the big price tag. The only thing that gives me pause is that it's a G4, which means it's not 64-bit. This isn't a big problem for me right now, but with Apple now pushing hard to sell its G5-based machines, I'm a little concerned at how future-proof this new Mac is.
