It's an all-in-one Mac with a single LC-PDS slot. The monitor is a
14" I believe. If a LC-PDS graphics card were used, he'd have to
give up the ethernet. To speed it up, it should be possible to put a
LC-575 mainboard with a 33mhz 68040 into it though. If I remember
correctly the whole LC-500 series uses the same mainboard style,
which is the same as the Color Classic and Color Classic II. All in
all, I'd say it's a nice little system for a beginner or just light
use. I've tried Netscape on my stock Color Classic and it worked,
but it wasn't very fast. I'm in the middle of putting a LC-575
mainboard into it.
