[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 446854, member: 3850"] If I don't upgrade the CPU, I won't see much of a performance upgrade. So I took your OP as implying that you'd be changing the CPU as well. IMO there are 2 components that need to be upgradeable in a computer: RAM and the harddrive. All Macs have user-upgradeable RAM. Unfortunately the harddrive is usually not accessible, but can be upgraded externally with USB or Firewire disks. The rest is almost never upgraded by your average Joe, because if you want to upgrade the CPU (arguably the biggest performance factor), you often need to upgrade the motherboard, the RAM and sometimes even the power supply as well. Sure you can reuse some components, but you're basically buying a new PC. [/QUOTE]
