Hi Guys,

I wonder if you can help me. I am looking to buy two old iBooks that will be available to me. One is a 500 MHz G3 14" and the other is a G3 700 MHz 12".

The question is, can I take out the internals of the 700 and place them in the 500 case? Are they interchangable?

Why? The 500 has the larger screen and a combo drive and is relatively cheap. The 700 is smaller (12") but faster.

Since I don't own an iBook I cant compare the internals.

Thanks for the help in advance.

You can swap the hard drive and the optical drive. But that is about it.
