X20 to X22/23/24 conversion possible?

[jeffbaichina]

Hi all,

Looking at the exterior of X20-24 they seemed identical for all the models, just wondering if it's possible to swap in a X22/23/24 motherboard into a X20? Is it a drop-in replacement? If not, what do I need to swap out together?

I was warned according to http://thinkwiki.de/X22 in the section where it says X22 is a "full internal redesign", but what compatibility did it break specifically?

Eager to swap out the ATI Rage graphics card in the machine for a better one.

Best Regards,

There are a few parts you can swap between the x20-21 and x22-23-24: ram, battery, adapter, wifi, ram plate, hd.

The bulk of the machines can not be swapped: screen, keyboard, motherboard, fan.

That said, maybe there are workaround I don't know about. I'm just going on what I discovered playing mr.potato head with my x21, x22 and x24.
