is the iMac 20"-with the option for 256VRAM available only at Apple's Store? I haven't seen it anywhere else.

If I get the 128 VRAM now, is this not upgradable later?

I don't think that you can upgrade it later.

I am fairly sure most of the iMac's components are soldered to the logic board - therefore not upgradeable.

bhphotovideo.com sells the 256MBVRAM 20" with free shipping and no tax for a few bucks less than the Apple Store.

The video chipset most certainly is. The CPU, RAM, and HDD, are not. That is the usual focus of an upgrade in an iMac.
