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

Most mobile chipsets (which the iMac uses) have processors soldered onto the motherboard, you'd be lucky to be able to upgrade it.

What price will you be paying for an i7? Just that I remember them being really expensive when they first came out. I was annoyed when I saw the new range of processors as I had only just bought mine and I would of much preferred an i3/i5.

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 ?

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 ) OpenGL sucks, DirectX pwns.

I've heard of opengl 'cause the 3d in photoshop won't work on my computer now because of something to do with openGL :L
