I'm trying to decide on which Imac 20 inch refurbished I should buy. They both cost $849.
The first one has the intergrated Nvidia 9400 chip (FB417LL/A early 2009 model)
The other one has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 memory (FB324LL/A I think this was just before the other one)
They are both 2.66 Ghz and I think the Nvidia on has an extra USB port and uses different type memory or something.
I would think that even though the ATI Radeon Imac is older that it still is slightly better since it has a dedicated graphics card vs the intergrated Nvidia. Am I right about this? I would imagine all you gurus over on this forum would know better than me since I want to make sure I'm not losing anything by going with the dedicated Graphics card or over the Nvidia.
I use Adobe CS4 and plan to put it on the machine and I like 720p & 1080P video.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks
