Hello,
Is it easy to upgrade a graphics card in an iMac? I'm hoping to purchase a new 21.5" iMac before next summer, and I don't want to go any higher than the $1,200 for the base configuration of the computer. Everything else is very powerful for my needs (a 3.06GHz processor with 1066MHz FSB, 4GBs of RAM and a 500GB HDD are great for video editing), but I'm a little concerned about the graphics (though 256MB is decent, I may need a little more power for 3D applications). I was hoping I could just open up the back of the computer and just pop a new card in?
Thanks to all who respond!
