Mac users/supporters?

For the Mac users/supporters out there...I have a couple questions:

1. What are your Mac desktop users using for a monitor/display? Just curious about what brand, model and size.
2. What amount of memory are you running in the Macs that run PhotoShop, Final Cut or other intense apps.

Thanks!

Currently we have 2 iMacs but all other Macs are using existing LCD monitors. We usually buy Viewsonic and our current minimum is 22" wide.

Regarding memory, 8Gig min and 18G max when using Final Cut.
We're just starting to get Macs into our network on an official basis, so some items will probably change.
Also invested the the Apple Remote Desktop application. It is very easy to use and don't think I've every remotely installed software as easy as it does it.; ▶ Reply to This

Most are using just the laptop monitor but one is using just a generic monitor we had in storage. He isn't complaining.; ▶ Reply to This
