Peripherals quick fire questions

Should I set my NAS up to use AFP or SMB sharing? Will a Wacom Cintiq 12WX work with my new iMac?

Yes. Ensure it is complete with the dedicated cable converter, and buy a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor to go from the converter to your iMac. It only delivers a maximum resolution of 1280x800 pixels, though. Download the latest drivers for touchscreen support from Wacom. Although Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) used to be preferred for Mac shared file services over networks, Apple now says it recommends you should opt for SMB (Server Message Block) instead. You can still encounter problems in either, though you should now try using SMB first.
