iMac Core i3 3.2GHz (Dual core) upgraded to Core i7 2.93GHz (Quad core)

問題

Upgraded my mid 2010 27 inch Apple iMac from a Core i3 3.2GHz (Dual core) upgraded to Core i7 2.93GHz (Quad core) processor. While I was in there, upgraded the Hard Drive from a 1TB drive to a 3TB drive and upgraded the RAM from 4Gb or RAM to 32Gb of RAM :)

修理

Used iFixit teardown guide, iFixit heavy-duty suction cups (pair) and iFixit toolkit to upgrade my iMac. Worked like a charm.
