Hey, yeah! THANKS for answering a nagging question for me... I remember at one time knowing that the 5500 (and similar) mobos could modify several lesser PMacs, and a few 68k all-in-ones. I have a 225mhz in my Color Classic, but I was miffed when I learned that it would not go into a LC 575. NOW I remember...the LC 580 can be modified! Now, back on-topic... >Biggest cheapest ? go with a VGA monitor, they are cheaper but they are >harder to find in larger sizes. >Of the 2 you mentioned I would go with the Apple monitor for your uses, >but it's kinda overkill unless you can get it cheap.

The double-monitor setup never occurred to me! THAT is the way I want to go now... But how would a TV signal look on that? Would it just go to the main monitor? Thanks again! Craig W.
