Buying new iMac need advice..
Ok, i know that the processor isnt a huge deal for Motion but the graphics card is. I need the best machine i can get for $1900 or less (pisses me off because macs are WAY over priced) Here are my options unless you have better.

I chose refurbished because it seems to give me more bang for the buck, unless you think a new one is really worth the extra money…

No they’re not. If they were, you wouldn’t be trying to buy one.

Yes they are, if i could use motion on a pc i wouldnt be buying one. How are you going to even argue that point, $3,500 Mac Pro is a $2,000 PC

LOL! Yeah and a $66,000 Lexus LS is just an $18,000 Chevy Cobalt.

I can tell you are really mature and educated, thank you for your input.

Don’t worry about the processor. For Motion it’s the graphics card that counts.
Oh, and also the amount of memory, but RAM is cheap and can be installed later.
