Depends on the logic board. If you provide the ser# of the logic board, I can look in the manual to determine compatibilities. >2. can i put one of the larger screens on this? there's less vram, so was >wondering if that would even be possible. i guess one could upgrade the >mobo? If you get all the cabling, you should be able to install a larger screen. >3. how does one take this thing apart? it seems more complex than my >girlfriend's pismo, which i worked on with great success (simple stuff, >though--changed the cpu & hdd). all these torx screws. what size is it? any >warnings? Don't know anything about a "Pismo", but to take the "Wallstreet" apart you need: Tools Use the following tools for procedures in this chapter: * #8 Torx driver (for most screws) * #6 Torx driver (for the PC Card cardcage) * PC Card cardcage alignment tool (077-0160) * Phillips screwdriver (for the heat sink and modem) * Flat-blade nylon or plastic tool * Dental pick or hook tool (to open flex connectors) * Torque screwdriver (highly recommended for some replacement procedures) >i know very little about ws (long-time 1400/133 user, my first mac, only new >mac ever!)... so, if anyone has done anything to convert the "road apple" >g-book to something better, please share! Never heard the Wallstreet referred to as a "road apple." I like mine, a lot of folks do. >thanks mucho. >omar Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
