[QUOTE="Mama Luigi, post: 839579, member: 83273"] Only if you have a machine with an open PCIe slot. Oh, and two PCIe power connectors. Yes, Apple is charging WAY more than a fair price to upgrade to the 4850. I mean, you can buy a 4850 card on NewEgg right now for $120. Yet you have to buy a $2000 iMac in order to get it. Sure, you get some other upgrades as well, but it's still pretty crazy. But that's the price you pay if you want gaming on a Mac. IMO you're much better off getting a cheap Mac (like a Mini) and a dedicated gaming PC. [/QUOTE]
