Will the 575 mb fit in a 605 case? Click to expand... It might fit, but it won't be a drop in replacement. There would be a load of hackery involved. Here's an LC575 motherbo…

Finally, it was a big mistake for Apple not to include ECC memory support in at least the "Pro" desktops. IBM has good engineers, but they come from a background that assumes that …
