Never heard that one before. The only thing I've upgraded on my iMac g3 was the RAM (64 --> 576). Thing's gone for 7 years (well, six and a half... keyboard mostly died a few months ago), and I find it easier to have a really good system that simply depreciates slowly better than upgrading it.

Yeah that's the G3. We're past the G5 and are at Core 2 Duos. The only thing easily you can upgrade in the iMac is the ram. You can upgrade the HD, but that's a little harder. An upgradeable system would allow for GPU updates.
 
no touchscreen, no LED

There will be no touchscreen and no backlit LED on the next revision imacs.
I can't believe how unrealistic people are being. I think its a shame that you can buy a Mesh £1,100 pound machine including a quad core processor and a Grforce 8800 GTX, with 19 inch monitor, yet the imac will cost more, but be saddled with a geforce 8600 GT, and a 2.2GHz C2D.

I love macs, but even the Sony Vaio LA1/2/3 looks better.

I'd love to see a gaming imac with a Geforce 8700M GT

Macbook Pro 15 inch 2.33Ghz 2Gb RAM, ATI mobility X1600

yes i agree with you. touchscreen....LED backlit...cmon lets be realistic!!!! 8800 GTX, please.... quad core IS a possibility in my mind though. as is an 8600/8700 DESKTOP version... none of this mobile crap in a desktop please.

What do you think the chances are of only having the 24 inch imac with the option of a higher end graphics card?
I hope this doesn't happen. Rock do a great laptop with a Geforce 8700M, and thats 17 inch - surely this time the 20 inch imac could get the top end card? I would be temped by 24 inch - but don't you think simply too big - almost ugly on a desk?

Little to none. The form factor can barely take a mid-range desktop card heat wise.
