Hi. I'm looking to buy a desktop computer alongside my macbook pro. These are my to options. The mac mini is cheaper than iMac but has got no graphics card. Does a Graphic card helps the CPU to focus on the audio data while it's doing the visual stuff (eg. the 4 moving coloured waveforms on the screen etc.)? I'll be using computer for music mostly. iMac has i5 @ 2.9 but Mac mini has i7 @ 2.6 ! What's the difference between these two CPUs? is i7 better than i5 and why (have in mind that if i buy the mini I'll put 8Gb ram ,so the question is which CPU)? Any sugestions?
