Intel Macs seem to be more demanding of RAM.

Personally, I've always been surprised that iMacs are popular in  
design environments. I was a courier in London when the first iMac  
came out and all the receptions were loving them; "they bought me a  
new computer! Look, isn't it SO cute!" but I don't understand why  
you'd buy a really nice 20" or 24" flatscreen which you have to throw  
away when you need to expand the RAM (past 2gig or whatever). I  
suppose that realistically, this only affects the office junior, who  
is not involved in the purchasing decision in the first place.
