I don't know about the motherboard, but Apple used at least two different kinds of displays, even within the same specific model. The necks also differ somewhat, but I don't know to what degree and I've never done this sort of surgery myself. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- TODAY'S DUMB TRUE HEADLINE: Enfield Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide -- -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I'm not sure if the base is weighted enough for a 17" (I *know* it isn't for a 20"). I still use a 15" because the 17" and 20" seem to be too much for the arm and the strings stretch over time. I see far more sagging displays on the bigger ones than on the 15". -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- FORTUNE: Travel is important today.

G4 iMac display swap?
Anyone know if I can fit a 17" display with housing to a iMac G4 that has an existing 15" display at the goose neck level?
