Let me tell you- I am running AfterEffects and Compressor to do batch transcoding at work and these types of processes need as much RAM and as much raw processing power as you can afford.
I can peg all 16 cores on my new 2x2.26 Quad Macpro with little effort, and the 6GB of RAM I have now is a real limitation. Hopefully we will be upgrading to at least 12GB, if not 16GB very soon.
But for average Photoshop, web design, audio editing, page design stuff you can most certainly do well on an iMac.
