No the only things I changed were the hard drive, DVD/CD super drive, more memory, video card and an airport card... Used a 250G 7200rpm PATA hard drive instead of the PCI card with a SATA drive... The CPU would be a processor upgrade which I didn't do, it is still the old 466mhz, this was the next thing but later down the road... I've been thinking about putting all the old stuff back in and doing the hard drive last, but this doesn't make sense to me because I basically did the same thing to my powerbook without any trouble...
