- Your Mac's Specs
- i7 iMac; 8gb DDR3 ram; ati mobility 4850; 1tb seagate harddrive @7200rpm
If it's been 14 days since you've bought it, and the newer iMacs have been released, you can exchange it for a newer model with no penalty. If it's been a little longer, there still might be a chance you can do it.
If you game under windows, none of the driver issues occur. Under windows, you have the freedom to always update to the most recent drivers and add any additional overclocking if you need a little bit of exter performance. The iMac has great cooling if you keep the fans revving at higher rpms, so heat isn't an issue. I personally overclock my iMac's mobility 4850 to desktop standards. (mobility 4850 has 503mhz core clock and 850mhz vram clock, desktop 4850 has 625mhz core clock and 990mhz vram clock)
I get 20% more fps for the 20% in overclock. (sc2 maxed at native resolution went from 28 fps to 35fps)
