<< I have the oppurtunity to purchase a 520 or a 540, I know the 520 is passive matrix and the 540 is active. Is it possible to convert a 520 or 540 to a color screen perhaps one from a 520c or one from a 540c? >> Yes, but the internal display cable ... NOT the motherboard to display cable ... in the 540c is different from all the others. If you find a deal on a 540c display, be sure to get the internal display cable with it. >> I am an expert on the 1xx series and have done pretty much everything possible to them so is it feasible for me? >> The PB500 is the easiest of all the PBs to work on. >> Also are processor upgrades easy because like one from a 540(x) to put in a 520(x) because the 520 is cheaper than the 540 so I was wondering if it is worthwhile to get the 520 or step up to the 540? I know the cost of 540 chips is minimal but what about screens as mentioned before? >> A complete 540c will likely cost much less than just the active matrix display from a 540c alone. Essentially, 540cs are worth more dead than they are alive ... which can't be said for, say, the 520 or the 540. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
