Thank you Richard.
Essentially, I want to use this workstation for various FreeSurfer applications (such as subcortical segmentation and cortical analysis) including FreeView and I am trying to find out if it is worth it to buy the better iMAC (3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz), 16GB of 1867MHz DDR3 memory, AMD Radeon R9 M380 graphics processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory) with the main difference being the graphic card.
Best regards,
Alexandre

I apologize if a similar question was asked approximately 6 months ago but I just want to double check the information validated by a single person previously.
I'm thinking about starting a cortical thickness analysis as well as segmentation analysis. Therefore
I want to buy a new iMAC 21.5" with the following specs:
- 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3,3 GHz)
- 16 GB 1867 MHz LPDDR3 RAM (on-board)
- Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200
Would anyone confirm that it supports Free Surfer analysis, particularly the graphic card included?
If you mean the CUDA acceleration, no it won't. I don't know how well that graphics setup will handle Freeview etc., if that's what you meant.
