Apple used that as a means to propagate their innovative design which unlike most of the other computers then did not have an external Central processing Unit.

The device was built with a 512k backside level 2 cache and with a RAM of 32 MB.
Although the iMac came with 32 MB of RAM it could be upgraded to up to 512 MB of RAM.
The Operating System of the iMac can also be upgraded from its pre-installed MacOS 8.6 up to MacOS X 10.3.9.
