Macintosh PowerBook PowerPC Upgrade For Macintosh PowerBook 500 series computers About Your PowerPC Upgrade Processor upgrade Your computer has been upgraded to use a PowerPC 603e microprocessor.

Depending on how long ago you purchased your PowerBook and whether you've already upgraded to System 7.5, you may find many new features in the system software. Only the system software files on your computer's hard disk have been updated to system software version 7.5.2. No other files have been erased or changed during the upgrade procedure. If you haven't been using System 7.5 already, be sure to read the next section, "Using Apple Guide" for an introduction to the onscreen help that is now part of your PowerBook's system software. 1 Using Apple Guide The system software installed with your upgrade includes Apple Guide, a set of files that provide dynamic online instructions for working with your PowerBook. (If you have been using System 7.5 on your PowerBook, you are probably familiar with Apple Guide. If so, you can skip this section.) Apple Guide takes you through a task one step at a time and shows you the item you use to accomplish each task. And because Apple Guide's window stays on the screen as you perform the task, you don't have to memorize a series of actions. You use the Guide menu to display the Apple Guide instructions. The Guide menu The Guide menu is your main source of information when you're working with your computer. The menu is identified by a question mark (h) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
