Upgrade Imac

[416049]

Hi

I will soon be getting an Imac 20inch late 2007 with a 2.4 core 2 duo 320gb hd and 4gb ram.

What is the maximum size of Harddrive that fits into that machine and/or is it possible to upgrade the processor to a faster one?

CHeers,

You can install up to 2TB HD. Upgrading CPU isn't really possible and even if it was, it wouldn't be worth it

I believe you can change it with a 2TB hard drive. I believe it's something like 3.5". http://www.overclock.net/mac/333114-does-imac-use-2-5-3-a.html

And no, you can not replace your processor. It's solded.

The fastest available is a 2.8GHz Core 2 Extreme. By the time you buy that, you might as well have sold your iMac and bought a refurb one with a 3.06GHz.

2.4GHz C2D is T7700 which uses socket P so theoretically, T9900 (3.06GHz dual) and QX9300 (2.53GHz quad), but as you said, for the money he could buy a brand new iMac

No, it's not upgradeable. If you're not comfortable replacing your HD, why are you asking is GPU or CPU upgradeable?

If you need more space, grab an external hard drive
