Hi,
I am considering getting the new 20" imac but I have seen the older one for £30 less. The only real difference that I can see is the graphics card. Which graphics card is better and which one should I get?

Ps, I have to get it from comet.co.uk ideally because I get a discount.

Here are the links:

ATI radeonHD-2600 256 MB - £928.81

or

Nvidia GForce 9400M - £949.00

Thanks

But is the ATI radeonHD-2600 256 MB better than the Nvidia GForce 9400M?

The previous gen with the Radeon - it has a faster GPU and is otherwise fairly similar.
