Apple is somehow schizo in its CPU designs: or it made them VERY EASY to open and upgrade (Centris 660/PowerMac 6100, LC I/II/III/Performa 475, PowerMac 8600/PowerMac Beige G3, Mac G4 Cube, Blue and White G3 and all other minitower CPUs before the G5) or TERRIBILY DIFFICULT to open and upgrade (the original 128k and all other compact all-in-one Macs based on it, the Quadra 840/PowerMac8100/PowerMac 8500, the PowerMac 4400/7220 series, all iMacs in general, MacMinis). -- MaGioZal. <http://flickr.com/magiozal/> -- 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.
