NVIDIA Ge Force GT 130 w/ 512MB memory
or the ATI Radeo HD 4670 w/ 256MB memory

I am looking in the refurbished section on the apple site and just about to purchase a "refubished" 21.5" w/ 3.06GHz C2D, 4GB of memory, 1TB hard drive and ATI 4670 graphics card with 256MB memory for $1,299.00.

Then I saw that they have added a 24" iMac w/ 3.06GHz C2D, 4GB of memory, 1TB hard drive and NVIDIA Ge Force GT 130 w/ 512MB memory for $1,349.00.

So for $50 I would get a bigger screen but would the difference in processor types matter for lite photo editing, and DVD encoding speed.
