Putting a NVIDIA Geforce 4 MX in my new iMac

[sroddy]

Hi all
I write here to know if you know any way to put a NVIDIA Geforce 4 MX in my iMac instead of the NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX i have, and maybe, to put 64/128 megs of DDR instead of the 32 in the original one.
My computer is an 800 Mhz G4 Superdrive with 1024 Megs of Ram.
The question is this: Where will i find a suitable card?
Thnx!

I believe the graphicss chip is soldered right on to the motherboard. You can't upgrade.

iMacs are wonderful and powerful computers but they can't really be upgrated (memory and airport can be). That's their main problem and the price for a such design.

good luck and don't regret your purchase

I thought about this myself once. Scoured the net trying to find someone else who had done it, and didn't come up with anything. It would definitely require a lot of delicate and intricate work. The potential to really foul something up and trash your motherboard would be immense. If anyone has attempted this, I would love to hear about it.

some mad guys did something like this with iMac rev A & B. They made a new computer changing the box (the new one was a CD-Video driver for TV ... something very smart) and some components. I saw (on a magazine) also an iBook put into a king of case. If I find the article I will post some pictures

an idea that will never work but...

if we could find a way to hook it up externaly and then get a nother monitor to plug in to the Video card it might work (but we would have to disable the card on the motherbord...
