[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1120605, member: 46727"] According to MacTracker, that machine is an early 2006 20" iMac with an ATI Radeon X1600 graphics chipset. The maximum amount of memory it can take is 2 GB (2 each 1 GB modules). If that's the machine you have, you can see that it's going to be somewhat limited for memory and graphics. About the only upgrades you can do are the hard drive, memory, and operating system. (Leopard or Snow Leopard) The graphics can not be upgraded or updated in any way since the chipset is soldered to the logic board. How well it will perform using CS5 is unknown since the amount of memory you can put in that machine is only 2 GB. I would say that the machine will be fine for everyday use - browsing the net, email, word processing, etc. But for graphics design.... ? [/QUOTE]
