Cross posting from AQA thread as I thought I'd have more luck here:
I have a 24 inch iMac 6,1
Never needed to upgrade as I only use it at home for word processing, web and DVDs/Music (+ late night potato chopping for LFGSS)
For any video and graphics work I've always used gear provided to me by companies I work for or have hired in for a job.
I'm now in the process of setting up a small studio to use with a couple of friends/soon to be partners and can't afford yet to invest in a fully specced mac pro - was thinking that for moderate work - light edits this would be fine but want to know what I can get.
Currently:
Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.16ghz
2GB memory
250GB HDD
128MB nvidia GeForce 7300 GT
Am I right in thinking that the max I could upgrade to is:
4GB RAM (200-PIN PC2-5300 DDRS (667MHz) SO-DIMM (2 x 2 GB sticks - even though it'll only support/use 3GB)
up to a 2TB HDD - SATA II drive
Possible to upgrade processor?
Possible to upgrade GFX card?
Possible to have additional ports on the back?
I.e. currently only 2 firewire ports + 3 x USB + Ethernet.
Any idea on costs or places to get this done? I'm fairly techy and have opened up and fiddled with dozens of PCs but never touch the innards of a Mac and am slightly afraid to.
