Right after purchasing my new iMac today I installed a vertex 2 SSD in place of the hard drive. I thought some of you might be interested in some of the changes I noticed inside as opposed to my old 2.66 i5 iMac.
First thing you will notice is they put stickers that tear away at the top of the display if you take the display out. They can be pulled off very slowly and put back in original condition. Look out before you go ripping out the display. Also there is no longer a temp probe connecting to the old HD. Finally, and all the people who have worked on the iMacs in the past can be happy about, they redesigned the vertical sync cable. It is now a plastic connector instead of that horrible ribbon that was a PITA to reconnect.
Now I am just waiting on my 16GB of RAM to be delivered and then let the benchmarking begin.
