I cannot find right now how many watts the 2.0 Core Duo CPU's in the

the Intel model number of the chips used.
Was it this one?

To answer my own question, they were Socket M Core Duo cpus, the T2x00
series, and there's only a few Core2Duos that work: the Socket M T5x00
and T7x00 series that have the 667MHz FSB. They're not compatible with
the later Core2Duo CPUs used in later versions of the iMac. Best I can
do is an upgrade to a 2.66 GHx for $325 or so.
The processors are expensive and hard to find, compared to modern
ones :-(
The white Core2Duo iMacs are much more amenable to upgrading in this
fashion.
