[QUOTE="offer, post: 1477821, member: 285955"] Hi Guys, I'm going to upgrade my old iMac and need some advices. I'm currently working with a 3 years old iMac Dual core 3.1G and 8GB ram ( I added 4GB). Recently I upgrade my camera from Nikon D700 to Nikon D800 and the files are huge, 40MB RAW files. The workstation is very old and slow and I get all the time the spinning curser. I decide to upgrade to the new iMac 27" and I will order it with the 3GB fushion drive and 16GB RAM. I have some questions regarding the other updates: 1. Do I really need the i7 cpu instead of the i5 ? 2. Is it necessary to upgrade the graphic card from GTX 675MX 1GB to GTX 680MX 2 GB? I forgot to mention I'm usually working with Lightroom 4 and Photoshop 6 with huge files. Thank you very much, Offer [/QUOTE]
