You need to let us at least know the model number of the iMac.

Chances are they won't run well.

I needed to check specs.

Do you have a Core 2 DUO or i5 in there?

Either way, it looks like you have a GT120 nvidia chip in there...with 256MB DDR3 RAM

I HIGHLY doubt it will work well.

Fukk the heat

Nah but seriously, you're better off getting a new PC. Isn't it sort of impossible to upgrade the mac?

i dont know that's why im asking you guys so why do they have the option of you getting a graphics card if you cant upgrade it ?

I said I think. I don't know about that I haven't had a mac to upgrade but Dolphin is more CPU dependent meaning you need a fast CPU to get things working. I have an AMD FX4100 OC'd @ 4.0ghz and it runs all wii games flawlessly(That's if you set it up right.)

If you could change the CPU and get a mid-level CPU you good.

i guess

you can't upgrade the graphics card and I don't think the CPU in an iMac would be socketed.

How much were you willing to spend on an upgrade? I might be able to throw together a PC that would smoke that mac in gaming.
