<DIV> Hi Dave, and thanks for sharing your point of view with us.

<DIV> So in your opinion — and apart from the 20" display controversy that was generated in the last iMac models — would I be better served if I chose the new 20-inch 2.66Ghz iMac model that comes with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory?

<DIV> The problem is... how long will I be able to connect my FW400 JVC digital camera and how much these new 20-inch displays may have changed/solved the "Millions of colours" issue.

<DIV> Yeah, but if you follow the changes in the structure architecture going forward, the trend is away from separate controllers with nVidia trying to commandeer a space in the processing from Intel - and Apple seems to have bought into it.  I am not sure that the VRAM is as big an issue as the availability of the GPU itself to take on some of the chores farmed out in the past to additional controllers:
