Hi all,
Wish to seek for some advice before i make my purchase on imac.
I'll used it mainly for graphic design like illustrator, indesign, painter, ps, font studio. I will probably install parallel as well for autocad. Leisure-wise, I do not play games and ocassionally watch few movies and clips.
Currently, I'm using powerbook g4 17" and a new 24" 2.4ghz imac in my office. My pb does not have juice for most of my graphics work. Whereas for my office rig, it has been good so far but it happened to crash and hang twice or so. Sometime illustrator gets abit laggy and not running as fast as i thought it would (The amount of vectors i handled for my work are outragous...)
I'm thinking of getting the 24" 2.9ghz imac with a upgraded to 1tb drive (plenty of media, pictures, etc...). My question to all - Should I upgraded my graphics card? If yes, NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics or ATI Radeon HD 4850 for my usage?
I suppose the ati issue is solved with the latest patch?
