new 21.5" iMac with nvidia 9400m

Hello all,
I am new to this forum so if this has been asked before, please forgive the duplication.

Anyway, I just recently purchased the new iMac 21.5" LED with the nvidia 9400m graphics.

I am thinking that perhaps I should have spent the extra money ($300) to get the dedicated ATI graphics.

I do not really do any gaming or video editing, so would this have been silly to do? I know the next 21.5" iMac up the food chain also has a 1TB drive, but HDD space is not really an issue for me. 500GB or 1TB does not matter too much to me. So essentially I would be paying $300 extra for the dedicated graphics. In other words, is the 9400m integrated sufficient to drive the large screen and provide decent graphics for a non-gamer? I will say, this iMac does look nice.

I would say that the 9400m graphics hardware is fine for a non-gamer...but personally I would have spent the extra $$$ for the better graphics (gamer or not).

Well if it wasn't sufficient to drive the screen then it wouldn't be in there! ;P

If you won't be doing any 3D work, then that 9400M is more than enough to satisfy your needs
