[QUOTE="Rigged, post: 1072273, member: 162880"] Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac4,1 Processor Name: Intel Core Duo Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 2 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B08 SMC Version (system): 1.1f5 Now I want to know if my iMac would easily take a memory chip in, how much it can take and the price it should be. My iMac runs pretty good on Snow Leopard 10.6 and I like Intels more so I'm thinking of sticking with my old little iMac but I'm hoping I CAN still fix it up. And there's 1 more thing I'd like to know: My iMac is one of those mean defected ones where a white vertical line started to appear a little after my warranty expired and I've been using it like it is lately and have been used to it. Here's a recent picture: [img]http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7144/img00427201006232242.jpg[/img] (I'm running Windows 7 on Parallels) So here's some questions about my white vertical line problem: 1. Can I hook up another monitor/screen? 2. What's the best connection for full quality, VGA, HDMI, etc? 3. Will I be able to use both my iMac screen and the new one? Or just one? 4. I have a 22 inch 1080i with VGA input, what resolution would it give me? Basic Questions: 1. Will my 2gig iMac (Early 06) take in more memory? If so how much more? 2. Where should I buy my RAM chips/memory? (Not sure how they're really called) 3. How much more gigs do I need to see a big difference? 4. Are these items good?

Or is it that I have to replace it? That confuses me. I want to be able to have at least up to 4 ram. :D For those who bothered to take on my somewhat long (but easy to some) post, thank you VERY much. [/QUOTE]
