- They way upgrades have worked is you usually get a whole new motherboard.
- In fact some upgrades
- even replace parts of the box so it says the right name on the front!
- All you end up with
- after is your old hard drive, floppy drive and power supply. Otherwise
- it is in every way a
- new machine. In your case it should be every bit an LCIII. Actually,
- for upgrades that Apple
- shipped to the customer, they charged a deposit on the old motherboard so
- you actually returned
- it to them and didn't turn around and sell the ROMs to some untrusty
- soul. You would not see this
- deposit if you got the upgrade through your dealer because they pay it
- and just get it back when
- they upgrade your machine.
