IMAC -Early 2009 24-inch
I would like to upgrade the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics Processors with 256MB of DDRS SDRAM of shared memory to:
A Quadro 4000 GPU card with at least 1GB of VRAM.
Is this possible?

Since this video processor "shares memory", I would first upgrade it to the maximum of 8 GB of RAM and see if it fills your needs.
If you have the 2.66GHz machine 24", then I think the graphics chipset is part of the logic board. It also shares its video memory with main RAM.
If you have the 2.93GHz or 3.06GHz 24" machine than your machine had the option of three different video cards from the factory.
24-inch model with 2.93GHz processor, one of the following:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
24-inch model with 3.06GHz processor, one of the following:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
These are all separate cards, MXM cards, with separate video memory. They are essentially notebook video cards.

Nvidia GEForce 8800GS/512MB GDDR3
is the GPU om the iMac 1225 3.06Mhz./max 4 Gb.
It is the FAULTY NVIDIA GPU which made a lot of iMac users to cry...It might be replaced with some other, but...icouldn´t bet my life on it....

Did any of the people really read the question? What if any, graphic card do you use to upgrade from a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB? Does ANYBODY know the answer to that question?

@Ancizar, what is your problem and what are the last three digits of your computer? It will helps us to identify it properly.
