Some Apple iBook G3 owners seeking repairs under the company's extended logic board replacement program may receive a slightly faster machine after repairs are complete.

Apple Computer may begin substituting 700MHz logic boards for some 600MHz iBook models that are in need of repair, due to "unforeseen inventory constraints" of the 600MHz iBook logic board and G3 processor, AppleInsider has learned. The substitution would provide a 100MHz speed increase to some 600MHz iBook customers who were the unfortunate recipients of slightly defective iBooks from the company's iBook G3 product line.

Apple began informing service providers of the substitutions earlier this week, noting that they are "temporary only and subject to change without notice." The substations apply to service centers in US, Canada, and Latin America. The company asked that its service providers "not set any customer expectations as to the type of logic board that may replace a defective module," as "not all defective iBook logic boards will be replaced with an upgraded logic board."

Multi Replace offers a number of nifty search and replace features. For example, all replacements can be limited only to files stored in a specified folder/subfolder or only to files of certain type(s). It is also possible to exclude files from being processed. There is even an automatic backup option that makes it possible to revert back to old files in case anything goes wrong. More importantly, there are several choices for replacement actions - replace with, replace between, insert before, insert after or delete. File type masks, case sensitivity, customized replacement rules and batch or one-by-one processing options are available as well. The program builds itself into Explorer's context menu and is always readily vailable. For added convenience, all processed files can be exported to a specified output older. The replacement settings can be saved for future processing. Multi Replace is 100% FREE to download and try. Get it now and you won't go back to your older, slower, one-file-at-a-time solution.
