Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 4 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 800 MHz Graphic Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2600 Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Ram 2gb Type: DDR2 SDRAM Speed: 667 MHz I want to do all the upgrades I can to be able to edit 1080p footage on FCP. What will I be able to get upgraded by apple or myself? I need a Quad Core, 4 or 6 gb ram, and a upgrade on the graphics card. I also want to be able to play games like TF2 and HomeFront. |

Only things I know you can do it up the Ram to 4GB (you can go to 6GB with a kit from OWC) and a larger hard drive. CPU is soldered in and I am sure on that model the video chipset is on the Logicboard. Even if the CPU was socketed which I am sure it's not, have the manual here BTW, the Chipset would not support a Quad Core. |
