Can I put a Core 2 extreme or Core 2 Quad in there?

Highly unlikely that it would work.

You can upgrade to a faster Core 2 Duo chip on some of the iMacs. Most have to have the logic board replaced. Try maxing out the RAM first and putting a really fast hard drive like the WD Velociraptor. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products....
