Original Question:
Hi everyone I’ve really had fun lately breathing new life into a couple of old iMacs, I have however run into an issue I have a Mid 2011 21.5 inch iMac and can find almost no documentation as for graphics upgrade options (that are compatible) so that newer hackintosh versions will be compatible. All I can find is information on the upgrade options of the 27 inch any help is greatly appreciated.
