I am an interior design major and my laptop is going to explode if I install one more program. So I need a desktop.
I need it to flawlessly run AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Adobe CS4, Google sketch-up, and ArchiCAD.
Now I have been looking at the 27" iMac. (I'm a PC and know nothing about Macs). But I want the best computer for 3D rendering and graphics. If it is the best option, I'm willing to pay the $2300 for the iMac. But do I need to pay $2300 for the iMac? Are there other desktops that may be just as good or better without having to spend $2300? Please give me any input you have. I guess I want to know if Macs really are the superior choice for design and graphics or is it all based on the graphics card and memory?
Thanks!
