I have a mid-2009 iMac with a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo CPU. I am wondering, does this one use a Socket P or LGA775 socket? Is it upgradable?
I know they aren't officially upgradable, but if I were to put in a different CPU(like a P9700, QX9300, or the like), would it work?
Also, it's got 8GB of RAM installed as 2x 4GB DDR3-1330MHz sticks, would this Mac recognize if I put in 2x 8GB DDR3-1333MHz sticks for 16GB total? Would it even boot up if I did that?
Lastly, what WiFi+Bluetooth cards will work? Intel 7260HMW?
There is already a 500GB MX500 SSD installed which, along with the 8GB of RAM, has made the system far snappier, I am just wondering if there are any other upgrades that could work...
