I am trying to configure a Mac Pro. The computer will be dedicated to the following uses: Graphic design (indesign, photoshop, illustrator, quark, etc.),
music production (ableton, garageband, etc.) and minimal—if not "hobbyist"—movie production.
No gaming, no motion graphics.
One display, 23" Cinema
a. So what graphics card does that steer me toward?
b. 3.0 ghz w/4gb RAM and the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT?
or
3.0 ghz w/2gb RAM and the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512mb?
I just wonder if its neccesary to upgrade the card with what I am doing. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
c. Will a 250gb hard drive be sufficient for now? I don't store alot of files and apps on my hd typically its pretty basic stuff. All my graphics files go to an external if not in use.
pardon the novice question. much appreciated
