Upgrading A Imac

[wildfire]

I will recive my new Imac Tommarow, Have Built my own PC's for several years.
Wondered if there will be a way for me to put a Dual 2 Core in my Imac later on or am I stuck with what I get.
Dont get me wrong I am looking forward to my Imac, but hearing great things about the Dual 2 Cores also.
Thanks in advance for any replies

People have done it, the iMac (notice spelling, you'll get ripped to shreds on here if you keep calling it an "Imac") has a socketed processor so removal of the Core Duo and replacement with a Core 2 is possible. I don't know how easy it will be though.

The video "card" - it's not a card but a collection of components soldered to the logic board - is not upgradeable. The HDD is, the optical drive probably is, the RAM certainly is. Ram is easy, the other parts are more difficult.

K thanks I will wait for some time and as the price for the CPU's will decline I am sure
