Help Maxing out a 2006 iMac

-

i have been planing upgrade 2006 imac, because can (please don't tell me waste of money, aware :p)

soo, have upgraded firmware 4,1 5,1 ( allowing on 2gb ram , c2d cpu's)

planed upgrades followed:

* t7600 cpu (fastest 667 mhz fsb)

*a cheap 120 gb ssd (limited sata performance 1.5gb/s)

*also plan 2x 2gb ddr2 ram sticks.

questions are, if t7600g cpu (unlocked multiplier) overclocking under osx possible ? (via custom kexts maybe ???)

, after upgrading hardware plan use either chamelon or ml post factor upgrade 10.8 (64 bit kexts available ati x1600 gpu thats not issue)

main questions are... booting 64bit kernel can past 3.3 gb ram limit (and possibly install 6gb ram chipset should support .) secondly overclocking options available me (both gpu , cpu) under osx? stated above cpu available unlocked multipliers , fans can move lot of air @ 3500 rpm :) , voltage control issue.... , x1600 overclocking atitraytool may work? maximum performance under osx.. windows tools don't :)

few more insane ideas ;)

* remove airport card mini pcie ssd

* possibly install small fan filters (to allow higher fan speeds without risk of dust being sucked system)

*upgrading optical drive b-ray (most impossible)

*remove airport card mini pcie usb 3 card (with osx support)


, knowledge appreciated !

(or directions mental heath institution)

edit: never-mind overcoming 3.3 gb ram, chip-set issue :(
 

unless have loads of money or long-term project, you'd better off finding later model imac on used market. you'll spend less money , better performance.
