You must be thinking about the original Wallstreets because the rev 2 models did fit the whole screen in 640x480 and 800x600 modes on the LCD (you were stuck with 1024x768 on the original).

Thy why does my originally 266MHz w/66MHz bus PowerBook G3 that I later dropped a 300MHz CPU into keep the res 1:1 with the physical pixels?(black borders)Come to think of it I am not sure if I ever tried lowering the res in anything other than a couple games that it played very badly.

To be fair I have no idea if the logicboard was ever replaced. All I know is that it came to me with a 266MHz CPU and 4GB HDD so matches PDQ specs more than WS specs..

You probably have a rev 1 board (they will work with the 66mhz bus speed chips). I think the originals have rage LT video chips while rev2 have rage 3d (might be a difference in VRAM size as well). The originals had sloped plastic on both sides toward the clasp, rev2 had a cliff on the top section.

Many people swapped parts and displays over the years so you have no idea what exactly you have and if it is factory stock.
