Title: Is it at all possible to upgrade iMac's? Post by: Supernatural Pie on August 17, 2003, 08:50:27 pm Ok, so on the flatpanel iMacs, you can upgrade one memory slot, and put in an airport card. That's it.
What I want to know is if there are ANY alternatives to upgrading stuff like your processor, video card, etc. For example, can you send your computer to apple and have them do it? Any ideas? I'm sick of 4-15 FPS in AA, and generally under 30 fps in GhR. :( Title: Re:Is it at all possible to upgrade iMac's?

But only the very first 233MHz iMacs can upgrade their video cards from what I've read. Which means it will stuck suck like a $5 whore.
iMacs were not meant to be upgraded. If you can't really afford a new mac, sell the iMac and buy a used G3 or G4 tower, which you can upgrade the video card as well as the processor. Title: Re:Is it at all possible to upgrade iMac's? Post by: Supernatural Pie on August 17, 2003, 10:00:20 pm Darn.
I guess I'll sell my old G3, and in a few months or whatever, this G4, then add some cash, and get a g5 on Ebay! mmmm. G5. Title: Re:Is it at all possible to upgrade iMac's? Post by: bronto on August 17, 2003, 10:24:43 pm don't worry snipe, im so poor, i use a pc.

Soldering iron's work, but if you mess up a little, kiss your computer goodbye. Title: Re:Is it at all possible to upgrade iMac's? Post by: Brain on August 18, 2003, 03:54:49 am hence my question...
