Hey guys,

The ATi video card on my 800Mhz iBook G4's motherboard gave out recently and it is out of warranty so I basically am going to have to replace the motherboard myself.

However, I would like to take this opportunity to upgrade the motherboard to 1.33Ghz (since PBFixIt.com is out of 800MHz ones anyway), but I have a few things that I need to clear up beforehand.

-will the 1.33Ghz motherboard fit in this case?
-does the new board require a new/different trackpad (for scrolling features and such)?
-where would the Bluetooth module fit in?
-do you need a special hard drive to support sudden motion sensor?

Any insight is appreciated.
