[QUOTE="Badger, post: 44196"] Check this link to MCE: [url]http://www.mcetech.com/dvdrwimacsl.html[/url]. Listed price is $350 US$. While replacing a drive in an iMac is not as simple as other macs, it can be done if you procede carefully. MCE provides clear, step-by-step instructions. I replaced the CD reader in my tray-loading (333mhz) with an MCE CD-RW two years ago and have never had a problem. 64 mg of RAM is barely adequate, you should also upgrade the RAM to 256 mg or higher if you can afford it. If you want to get a preview of the work involved to open up an iMac you can download an Apple service manual for your model at: [url]http://home.earthlink.net/~strahm_s/manuals.html[/url]. I'm not sure what current RAM prices are but the entire upgrade should be around $500 to $550 total. Badger [/QUOTE]
