[QUOTE="Macks, post: 815652, member: 57152"] Im basically in the same prediciment as you. Except i solely study graphic design. So i'll be just using the whole Adobe suite and maybe playing around with some movie editing software, i was deciding between the 9400m in the 2.66ghz mac and the gt120 in the 2.93 ghz imac. Ive decided upon saving up a little more money and going with the gt120 option as not only will this make my purchases 'more' future proof but a better (dedicated) graphics card will benefit you in the long run whether it be the GPU offloading features in leopard or just programs that take advantage of your GPU.. In your case your using alot of motion and things like that. From what little i knowledge i have gained on graphics cards and such i think the gt130 is quite a good card and should be suffice enough for what your doing.. PS: I dont 'think' that you can upgrade an imac with an aftermarket graphics card. Something to do with the GPU being soldered onto the motherboard.. [/QUOTE]
