| Upgrades for 24" 2007 iMac |
Posted by: 68kPlus on 2023-11-22 14:04:03
I got a Mid-2007 iMac from my grandmother recently, and was wondering what kind of upgrades are possible for it.
It's already got an SSD, 4GB RAM and the top-spec 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme, so I was just wondering if there's any other kind of upgrade possible.
Can't think of anything though.
Thanks! |

IIRC, it actually can handle 6 GB of RAM. |

IIRC, it actually can handle 6 GB of RAM. Oh really? Does it run in single channel then? |

You can upgrade both the CPU and graphics cards in iMacs of this age (if you're feeling brave). You might not see much of a performance difference upgrading from the X7900 but the newer chips run a lot cooler IIRC. |

Interesting. What sort of GPU upgrades are there? |

Just looked it up and the 2400XT and 2600XT are the only two supported GPUs for the 2007 iMacs. Mine has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO according to EveryMac, so I don't think I can do anything with that. |
