I just picked up a working eMac 700. I actually got it for free out of the trash in NYC. It is in great condition and works perfectly. I am considering a swap to a 1.25ghz logic board for it. That way it will have usb 2 and should be able to play hulu video. My question is, can I do this? Was anything changed between the different emac generations that would prohibit me?

Anyone know what the cutoff is then? 1Ghz? This model has the yellow power light if its of any significance. Kinda funky.

Give up. It's not worth even trying.
