[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1644240, member: 56379"] For the computing tasks you mentioned…you don't even need the 2gig video hardware. The 1gig video would be perfectly fine for internet videos, streaming, email, web surfing, etc. I have an iMac from 2009 (6 years old)…and it can handle just about everything you mentioned just fine.:) So a brand new model 27" iMac with just the 1gig video would absolutely kick my 2009 iMac's butt big time! Thus the 1gig video 27" iMac would be fine. Many Mac experts will agree that Mac's are not the best gaming machines. So this is the only computing task you mentioned that "MIGHT" be questionable. But I'm pretty sure that with the "nothing crazy" gaming you mentioned…that the 1gig video 27" iMac would be fine. But…if you have the cash…and want to upgrade to the 2gig video 27" iMac…go for it. The 4gig video??…this would probably be overkill (but it is only $150 more)…if you got the cash. So there you go…my 2 cents!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
