i have badly dented my pb g4 17 therefore i need to replace the bottom houseing. If i replace it with a housing from the same model but with a different processor speed (1.67ghz case for 1.33ghz) will it be compatible ? thankyou, please help :)

@leenevin2 - If the model number is the same, then it will be compatible.

Small world my mate Kitz comes from Saskatchewan.

But he now enjoys the Aussie sun.

MMMMMmacs even old buggers are well worth giving a transplant too.

This old g4 machine is cranking, new HD, optics, , screen, and all scrounged from bits of dead Macpuffs from ebay and for next to zot after dropping it off the car roof.

Cant wait to pull the new one down it amazes me.

Thanks Macuser
