Is it possible to upgrade the CPU on an old iMac? I currently have a Power PC 750 (2.2) with a CPU Speed of 350 MHz and a Bus Speed 100 MHz. Would like to get the CPU Speed to 400 Mhz. Is this possible?

If I were to put in a bigger hard drive, how would I do that? How would I get the data on the existing hard driver to the other drive? What's the process?
You would need to put the drive into an external case, or into another machine and go target disk mode or network like we discussed that other thread.
Or transfer the data from the machine first to another machine.
What data do you want on the new drive. If you want to copy the operating system you'd have to use and external case or target disk mode to clone it back to the new drive.
