good news bad news here:

Bad news: I took the eMac in to the apple store, and they looked on their system and the earliest appointment would be 4 p.m. (this was at noon). I decided to hold off until after Christmas, and after I get back from my trip.

Also, I put in the serial number onto their online records, and it said the machine was not eligible for service, even over the phone.

But the good news is according to Apple, my eMac is a 2005 las gen model. Did not know they sold a 1.25ghz. I will check the other one out, probably the same story. Maybe once I get it working, I can see if it has a radeon 9200 or a radeon 9600. Probably the former if it's a 1.25, but you never know. That would be about the only noticeable difference between the two.

If I am feeling adventurous and they say I can't have it fixed for me, I will just pop the 1,25ghz board out and stick it in the 700mhz. It should fit, and there should be only slightly more power draw.

Still though, I will take it in and see what they say when I get back next week.
