Gang,
Purchasing iMac for aging (but Mac Experienced) parents.
Any thoughts regarding the graphics card on the bottom-of-the line iMac. My parents don't need a DVD burner on the $1199 model which has the better graphics card.
Main purpose for new computer is the built-in video for iChat with me and their grandkids who live at a distance. Does the video card handle this iChat function well?
My mom does a bunch of iPhoto stuff and some scanning in addition. But she doesn't play games.
Finally, is it possible to squeak by with 512 MB?
