People there talk about maxing the RAM and installing a fast hard drive like a Western Digital Raptor. I would imagine the motherboard and enclosure shape makes an processor upgrade card a difficult product to produce with very little demand. Hang on.

There are no processor upgrades available for these Macs. Click to expand... http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=imac-g4#cpu
