I have an old imac laying around with an 8800 GS gpu which is starting to show its age, specifically its lack of hardware acceleration under mac os. Upon some research it has an mxm-he slot but ive yet to find anyone whos actually upgraded theirs to a non-mac gpu. I found a gt 330m which in theory should work with the proper vbios. Just wondering if anyone has attempted something at all similar and if youve succeeded or failed. Thanks

Edit:
Interestingly ive found a 4670m on ebay that is mxm 2 and claims to support the 24 inch imac. Unfortunately it has normal ddr2 memory so performance will probably be terrible.
