Biggie604 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Nvidia Gforce GTS250 (has the same GPU of 9800GT, powered). Hey Giorgio_multi, thanks for the tip, I was talking to a tech at NCIX and he recommended the same card! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ofakind Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 The lastest range of iMac's have i3, i5 and i7 processors and ATI HD 4670, 5670 and 5750. http://www.apple.com/imac/ This is the direction I would go for my next build. Socket 775 is almost dead. The price premium is small enough to move up to the newer sockets. For that you get access to DDR3, USB3, SATA3 - all of which has negligible real world speed benefit - except maybe USB3. The main thing is you'll be current for a while longer as these technologies become mainstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
