Any idea if the chip is upgradable to one of the faster Power chips?

Thought I'd drop a quick email to the list, see if anyone was interested in buying a 17" powerbook 1Ghz G4 ;)  Specs are as follows:

768MB Ram,

100GB Harddrive

1Ghz G4

17" display

Superdrive, bluetooth, 802.11b, backlit keyboard, etc. etc.

Two power supplies (used one at home/travel, one at work)

Battery life specs here:

Current battery capacity:  3105mAh, original capacity, 5400mAh (57%).  I still get typically 2 hours runtime on battery alone.

There are some scratches on the from case, a few dings on the edge of the case.  The display is in great condition.  I do have two issues I'm going to look at this weekend - the left cooling fan whines a bit when the system is at 100% utilization (not a big deal, as it runs fine, just occasionally loud).  The other issue is the Superdrive has some problems ejecting (slot loading issue, where it gets caught on the slot - I usually use a key or coin to expand the slot so the cd can eject).  I was going to take apart the laptop this weekend to try and fix the two issues.

All together, I'm looking for $600/obo.  I have a copy of 10.4 for the laptop.  Also, I have a copy of Virtual PC for the laptop, where I've run dos, linux, and windows (windows isn't exactly fast, but it is usable).

Feel free to drop me a line with any questions.  

Thanks!

Jason
