I am wondering if any of the following hardware in the eMac can be upgraded, and, if so, where can find out how to do it.

hard drive (western digital 120gb specifically)
graphics card (geforce mx3 or 4)

any ideas?

-thanks

Hi,

Firstly the eMacs I believe use a standard IDE hard drive, so other than taking the machine apart, which if like the classic iMac, may be difficult (not impossible but lots of screws.)

In regards to the graphics, sorry no go here, the graphics are integrated into the mother board.
I saw two shooting stars last night,
I wished on them, but they were only satilites,
its wrong to wish on space hardware,
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care.
