| Senior - BHPian  | why an 8800GT now , unless you got it dirt cheap. the 9800GT is already out, and the 4850 is even better VFM  |

!) in orange shorts, they're a mix of marketing and technology. A few features were added, and a die shrink was involved, but performance wise , not much. Some have even bios flashed their 8800's to 9800's. the differences are explained in this review Palit GeForce 9800 GT 1 GB Video Card Review | Hardware Secrets however , if you're in the market for a 10k card, the Ati Radeon 4850 is by far the better card | ||

*Exit before opening another heavy application simultaneously *You leave about 30GB free on your hardrive The reason, the video memory is shared from the 1GB system memory, and sadly is only 64MB. I run all the above mentioned programs and have no isues, as long as i don't overload the machine. So if you have heavy graphics and A/V work then the iMac is the best choice. you can get the 2.4 / 20" for about 57K and the 2.6 for 70K. there is no looking back after you do that.

IMO that with the Mac, it's software written for it's hardware and vise-versa. so the troubleshooting is at a low minimum. But Greenhorn, if you come across anything that'll help me especially in the area of video RAM on a mac. Please let me know. thanks. A good option for me is to upgrade my Sys RAM to 2GB | |
