upgrade iMac graphics card?

[cloudnine]

Okay, I'm embarassed to ask this... I know this is a total n00b question, but I'm only asking because i came across this article:

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/pcs/24+inch-imacs-graphics-card-is-self+upgradeable-199477.php

I realize that not only is the article a couple years old, and that it applies to the older style iMac, but I was wondering if there is any chance in hell that it might be possible with the new iMacs. I know, that even if it was possible, it would be a hell of a lot of work, taking apart the iMac, probably some soldering, etc... not to mention the difficulties of even getting ahold of the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS chip/card.

That would bring me to my next question... it probably wouldn't even be possible to put in an NVIDIA chip/card in there if an ATI one is now, right? I'm sorta clueless when it comes to hardware (as you can already tell... hah).

Just wondering, since I bought my 24" 2.8ghz iMac a month ago and now it's already outdated... grrrr.

Please search; a thread about this was made less than five minutes ago.

It's not really possible.

What do you mean 'already'? They've been out since August; they're a little old.

You could sell it for most of its retail value and upgrade if you find 2.8 GHz to be insufficient.

2.8ghz is great. the graphics card is "meh".
