Replacing a motherboard is much more difficult than just sliding a new one
in. You may have to remove screws, release clips, etc. and then put the new
board in place and secure it. Once that's done though you probably won't get
much more performance unless you replace it with a PowerMac board, and I
doubt any PowerMac boards will work in the LC 520. You can, however, look
into Micromac's Logic Board Tradeup deal (micromac.com, go to PRODUCTS). They
will swap your board for a faster 040 board. You'll save money to just buy an
accelerator and upgrade your RAM.
If the machine is still too slow, your friend is obviously not a Vintage Mac
person :)

fits right in with no hacks and speeds it up?
