- According to our campus computer store, the Q700 upgrade includes the logic
- board, a new case and a microphone. You keep the existing case lid, FDHD
- drive, hard disk, and power supply. If your IIcx has 80ns RAM in it you can
- keep that, too (the Q700 has 4Mb built in, plus four RAM SIMM slots).

- Cheaper than a complete new Q700, though.
