I like Mac and have used them for years. When I received Vegas Pro I had to get a PC (HP). Now Mac has the new imac. I'm thinking of getting it and doing the boot camp adding Windows to it this way I can still run Vegas.

The question is which 27" would you go with? Both of them have 4GB memory should I upgrade to 8GB memory. Would I really need that much for Vegas? I don't know at this time what softwares I will be downloading - Color Correction etc....

I'm running Vegas 9 (in Windows 7, Bootcamp) on my new Mac Pro with 3 GB of RAM. Vegas struggles. I'll be adding RAM ASAP. Go for the 8 GB. And of course use Windows 7 64-bit.
 
Yeah, I believe 32 bit Windows can only use 4GB, but of course you're running that as well as the Apple OS, so 8GB would seem sensible (unless I'm misunderstanding how much memory would be available to Windows after the Apple OS has grabbed what it needs - hopefully they won't both try to use the same 4 GB... :(
