Hi everyone!
I looking for hardware upgrade options for my 24" 2006 iMac. Right now it have C2D t7400 2.16Ghz CPU and 7300Gt/128mb GPU. Both CPU and GPU are socketed, so they can be upgraded, but i can't decide which hardware should i buy.
I know that I can install t7600 CPU and 7600Gt/256Mb GPU and they will work, because apple preinstalled them in more powerfull modifications of 6,1 iMac. But maybe i can go futher and use more powerfull hardware?.
For CPU i found t7800 or even x7900 cheap on ebay. They have same socket, but both have 800Mhz bus instead of 677Mhz in currently CPU. How do you think, will it work?. For GPU i found AMD Radeon HD4670M Mxm 2.1A for Apple iMac 21.5" 2009.
Generely I just curious if some of you have made any non-standard upgrades to 6,1 iMac?
