603s are all soldered down... not upgradeable. what you see is
likely the cache slot. You can get a G3 or a G4 for most boards with
a 603 cache slot... but you should check out the pages before you buy
to make sure they work. Also check the ram. Most of those didn't
even come with 32 megs so it could definately be a ram issue.
