One minor note: don't buy your extra RAM from Apple. Just buy some 200-pins PC2700 (that's 333Mhz, not 266) RAM from your local computer shop (I recommend getting 512 MB extra), and you'll save $100+.

I've never had a problem buying non-Apple ram until buying my second iMac G5 of the year (in total I've purchased 4 new Macs this year alone). I purchased 1GB of Crucial RAM and it caused the computer to keep restarting. I thought the RAM was bad so I took it in. New Crucial RAM was used. Same problem. Then we tried it on other iMAC G5s in the store... same problem.
I said "fuck it" and bought RAM from Apple directly. No problems anymore.
Weird. That's the first time it's happened.
But, like I said, I love Macs enough to have purchased 4 of them this year and will be purchasing a 5th for my fiance for Christmas.
