Can Apple stores do upgrades?

[TheMagicPirate]

i.e can I buy a 2.4 Ghz, 24" iMac, but with the 2.8 Ghz processor upgrade in an Apple store on the day?

might be able to, I'm sure they have some of the more popular configurations in stock.

Depends how much time they have spare, go in during the week if you want the best chance though.

Aren't the iMac processors are soldered in place? You can't upgrade them. The 2.8ghz version are CTO one's, you'd probably have to get them to order you one in.

I understand you want the 1gb ram, 320gb hdd with the 2.8 ghz processor instead? This is not possible because processor upgrades are not done in store. However call the store and ask what options are available but you can do every thing you want in store online, discount (if you apply) etc...

Cool, thanks for the reply guys.

Called the store and the 2.8 Ghz is infact online only Why am I so impatient?

Surely, even if they did change the CPU then it'd be a 2 day turnaround as it requires a massacre of the machine.

You're better off buying the 2.8 model and waiting. Its a killer though, I know.

The 2.8ghz is available in stores but wired only. The code is MB322B/A should you want to ask them about it

 

[unknowndomain]

The 2.8 with 1gb? etc.???

 

[VaderDSL]

Ah I think that model does infact come with a larger hard drive ... didnt see he wanted 320gb

 

[TheMagicPirate]

Yeah, I'm only after the 2.8 w/1Gb and 320Gb HDD

I was looking today and if you upgrade the 'lower' 24" iMac to the same speac as the 'upper' one, it actually comes out at the same price.

I think i'm going to be buying tomorrow online in the big one day event thing.
