    Yeah, I think the whole "soldered to the motherboard" aspect of the iMac's graphics card provides somewhat of a challenge. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

    Basically, it's not a card. It's a chipset. There's no AGP slot.



    Upgrading the graphics in the iMac should be just as easy as upgrading the graphics in any notebook. Exactly as easy, in fact.

    Amorph, Harder actually, cause with a beautiful computer like the new iMac, your not as quick to get into its guts and start ****ing around, as you would with any given notebook(well not a tibook or ibook)
