Say you got a new iMac, but wanted to save some money and just throw in a different HD you had laying around, say a new SATA drive 750GB vice the stock 250GB drive. Does it just PnP as in Windows machines? Or do they use special hardware in any form or fashion. I have come to read after many hours that it seems the OS is the real kicker in configuration differences between Mac and Windows machines. Is this true Mac people?
Reason is. I plan to get an iMac 24" for my next PC. I plan to use it to record HDTV content hopefully and do some light video editing for burning movie files etc.
So is it safe to assume I could "crack one open" and upgrade things myself with generic hardware as in graphics cards or hard drives?
If this is illegal, I'm sorry. I'll ask elsewhere.
