-Searching the internet for more information about differences between the two models revealed a service manual from Apple, titled "PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.33GHz) 16 September 2003"((Link: [[http://www.macbook-fr.com/IMG/pdf/pbg4_17_133.pdf]])).

On page 2 it mentions some information, but not all. The real differences are:
-  * **Flex cable compatibility**\\ The sound and modem flex cables are not interchangeable with the original PowerBook G4 (17-inch) system. The main logic board will be damaged. The correct flex cables have the word “POWERBOOK G4 17" 1.33GHz ONLY.”((or “POWERBOOK G4 17" 1.33 GHz& 1.5 GHz”, as the 1.5 GHz version was not yet on the market by then, but Apple kept the same layout with the 1.5 GHz version.))
+^  PowerBook 1.0 GHz  ^  PowerBook 1.33 GHz  ^
-  * **No L3 cache**\\ L3 cache is not used on this system. So unlike the previous model, there is no blue thermal pad on the logic board facing the keyboard.

-  * **Thermal module interface**\\ Thermal gel is now used on the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 graphics chip as well as the Intrepid chip. The thermal module is different from the previous 17-inch PowerBook. It has a different interface feature for the graphics chip and now has three heat pipes instead of one.
