BTW, what's the most powerful CPU you can upgrade to? 21.5" 2428 logic board no.:820-2641-A. Also, can radeon 6750M be replaced with 6770M or even 6950/6970M?
Thank you
i7 2600s (65W) and 6770m, as I heard 6950 and 6970 have bigger size
imho

Running well so far. Thanks for the guide!

Hello, any info regarding the i7-2600? How is the iMac running? Thanks in advance
