[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1709674, member: 110816"] The iMac's logicboard has all the components soldered on and nothing on there can be individually upgraded. Depending on the iMac, about the only two things that can upgraded is HDD -> SSD and more RAM. Logicboards from newer iMacs will likely not fit the older one. Additionally, a working and functioning logicboard is usually around $850 or so and that's a large chunk of a new iMac's price. As far as compatibility, Apple designs the hardware and chooses the parts. Apple writes the OS for those parts and somehow Windows is going to be more compatible. Not likely. [/QUOTE]
