Get the new low cost iMac for $999. It has a good gaming card and USB with lots more performance than you can get out of upgrading. Drewman

I would love 2, but in Canada an iMac is 1800.00, and I don't have the money to get a new system. Things like a HD and a USB card are good cause I can get USB devices that can late…
