[QUOTE="iggsta, post: 888678, member: 115048"] Thanks again for your enlightening comments. I think my best option may actually be going down the refurbished path - many past generation iMacs and MBPs seem to have better graphics cards than the present ones, and are available on ebay for reasonable prices with applecare... I've found a number of systems, with the following cards inside: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro with 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM (in most of the iMacs) NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB of GDDR3 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Seems I can pick up a 24" iMac with the ATI card and 4gb of ram, along with almost a year of aftercare, for under £1000... could this be the best option for me?
