Hey just curious - I've been eyeing the 21.5" refurb imac for $1099 (3.06ghz, 4gig ram, 256mb ati card). I'm planning on hooking up my 24" monitor to it for dual screens and I'm wondering if it can easily handle what I do, which is mainly photoshop + illustrator and a few other applications open (like iTunes). I don't work with many gigantic files, but commonly they'll be like 500mb or so for print graphics.
I'm assuming that performance-wise, it's exactly the same as the 27" iMac that's got the same specs. In that case is it worth it to just get the 27"? I can sell my 24" monitor for about $250 to make up the difference, but it comes back down to whether or not that iMac can do what I want it to do.
