I have a 2008 model and it goes like the preverbal off of a shovel. The main problem is that I'm waiting for Snow Leopard to release the full potential.
Don't buy any extras from Apple. Get the memory from Crucial. Was well under half the price. Same with extra HD's, monitors etc. Apples Cinema displays are overpriced as well so look at some of the top end Dell monitors instead.
But it's a great box. Had never had an Apple before but it's great. Superb build quality and a pleasure to use. Only downer is the lack of Blu-Ray. I know Apple want to push their own movie store but the kind of people buying these machines will want to author Blu-Ray. Even bloody Final Cut Studio only offers HD-DVD authoring!
