NVIDIA 3.06 iMac 8800 GS card

How good is it really?

I've read it's an improvement over the ATI cards sold in other iMac's, but is there really a noticeable bump in performance?

I'm a total n00b at this, as you can see.

Since Nvidia does not make the 3.06 GHz processor in the iMac, it's not better at all.

But because you actually mean the 8800 GS, well, that depends on if you do gaming or if you use a lot of Core Image-based apps.

Hehe, I meant the 8800 GS in the 3.06 iMac, lol, you caught on.

Great, because I can't stand the ATI Radeons in the other iMacs, have had bad experience with ATI before, so don't wanna go back that route.
