[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 20948"] [b]original iBook[/b] No I have not done a swap like you are talking about..... just a couple comments is all I can offer.... The original iBook was 300mhz. Mine is a Graphite SE which is 366mhz and again is still classed as series one, I do NOT have a firewire port on mine. As far as I know the only changes were the clock speed and a larger hard drive (6gig) instead of the original 3gig. I do not know of any other differences. Series one was only available in Blueberry or Tangerine (300mhz) and Graphite (366mhz). They were introduced in July 99 and and discontinued in Sept 2000. Then there was the second series which were 366mhz or 466mhz. Introduced Sept 2000 and discontinued May of 2001. They included a 10gig hard drive and a 8meg video (vs series 1's 4meg) and firewire. The 366mhz were available in Indigo or Key Lime, the 466mhz was again the Graphite SE. All series 2 also included firewire. The Graphite SE was also released with a dvd drive. Physically the case appears to be identical in size and shape so I don't see any reason that the motherboard from a 366 or 466 would not fit in a series one case, outside of the hole for the firewire. But the other ports may have been shifted to make room for the firewire. The sreen is the same max resolution so that should not be an issue. Parts prices are still pretty high to piece one together, so it might be cheaper to buy one that is complete! Larry [/QUOTE]
