Searched for this, but didn't find anything.
Does any one know if a 570E motherboard will fit in a 570 chassis? I might be able to get a 500MHz PIII 570E motherboard cheap, and could upgrade my PII 366MHz 570.
Thanks for the insight

Cheers mate! Thanks for that.
Did you keep the original heatsink/fan, or did you upgrade that with one from a 570E as well?
I can buy a brand new, bare motherboard off eBay for 50 bucks.

Yes , I used all the working parts , except screen, for the transplant
I actualy did it because the origonal 570 had a cracked case, so bought a job lot of base cases of ebay, they came with mobo's attached, but the mobo that was a 570 e also had a cracked case, so with a bit of juggling, managed to perm one good 570e mobo, one good base with a duff 570 removed & the origonal top * screen.
tempted to call it a frankenpad but the term seems to be bagged

Thanks for that info. Will try out the 570E motherboard in my case.
Guess your ThinkPads could be accused of having split personalities then, eh?
