Why are you sure of that? I've been completely satisfied with my
iMac's video performance since the day I bought it in 2002, and it was
an older version with the GeForce2 hardware. It worked great then, and
it works great now, 3 years later.

$1299, including a quality flat panel display (connected digitally, I
might add, unlike the fuzzy VGA connections I see on the cheap PCs), is
a good price for what it comes with, and the compact design.

It's an iMac. I wasn't expecting it to be upgradeable. Were you? Did
you read the package when you bought it?

Doubtful. The OS being 64-bit has no relation at all to a video card
being 64-bit.
