I wouldn't worry! The 256mb graphics card is perfect for your needs. This iMac will serve you, well.

Good luck,

21.5" iMac is a Sleeper Bargain, IMO

All the attention goes toward the 27" iMac, but for $1199, the 21.5" is a bargain. I was shocked to see such a difference in screen clarity and color depth between the new 21.5 and my one year old beloved 24" iMac. If I had the money on me at the time, I would be typing this on the new machine, and my 24" iMac would be on eBay. The display really is stunning. Enjoy.

Whether you buy a new or a refurb machine, they both come with a one-year warranty. Take a look at the refurbs - they'll save you money AND they've been tested twice for issues .

well il be getting it in uk, with my education discount, when does the free ipod promo kick in? just dont know whether to wait for the yellow screen thing to dissipate really want one now tho i have a netbook as my main machine, not easy when your at university lol

UK student deal usually kicks off the school year in the fall (where the US deal is all summer). A netbook is a drag for screen size - can you beg an external monitor off somebody to give you some more screen real estate when you're back in your room?
