No, upgrading the processor in an iMac is immensely difficult. I don't think it would be possible to do :PQuote:

It's an extra £130, but looking at some of the videos on youtube it seem's worth it ?
So whilst i'm here, imac's are good for gaming ? xD
Abit of a computer noob here :$
Mac's aren't much good for gaming full stop. STEAM has recently gotten a Mac client but (and here's the stuff you probably won't understand xD) OpenGL sucks, DirectX pwns.Quote:
