Doesn�t the 575/580 have the Color Classic form factor board? In which case, No, this isn't possible without serious chassis modification - the motherboards are different sizes and have different connectors - The 6400 series' motherboard is a Lot longer (ie would stick out about 2 inches). Technically, PSU mods aren't necessary unless you want to drive the PCI slot, in which case use a 6500 series, which generates its own PCI power. The 6400 board will fit in the 630 series, and any of the 5xxx or 6xxx series, without any modification unless you want to use the PCI slot Phil -- Visit http://www.macintoshcouncil.tk and http://thearistocratichippo.cjb.net -iMac G4 17" 1Ghz, 512MB, 80GB, 10.3.3 -PowerMac 7300/200 DT, 256MB, 5GB, 9.1 -PowerMac 8500/180, 128MB, 2x2GB, 9.1 -PowerMac 5500/275 AIO, 128MB, 7GB, 9.2.2 -PowerMac 6500/275 DT, 64MB, 2GB, 9.1 -PowerMac 7200/90 DT, 48MB, 500MB, 8.6 -Performa 630CD, 36MB, 2GB, 8.1 -LC III+ 33Mhz, 36MB, 80MB, 7.6.1 -PowerBook 140, 4MB, 40MB, 7.5.5 -IIci, 8MB, 160MB, 7.6.1 -IIci, ? ---------- Intel Pentium III 1GHz, 512MB, 80GB, XP AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53GHz, 256MB, 60GB, XP ---------- Acorn A3020 @ 12MHz, 4MB, RiscOS 3.1 -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
