| You have a 1GHZ powerbook G4 and you want a 1.67GHZ, with what Apple does to keep you from doing such a thing, you may incur a pretty nasty bill in the end(you may need to replace everything, even the display assembly!) |
| Honestly, is .67MHZ going to be that much of a difference? It's not going to be, and it may not be noticed either, and these are not dual core, just single core. |
| I wanted to do this too with my MacBook pro, but I needed a unibody too, and there was no guarantee it would work with my old parts, so i did not try it and kept my 2.66GHZ board(anyone here remember I wanted to do this?) |
| If you really want this small performance boost, which is minimal or will go unnoticed, buy a used laptop like yours, migrate your stuff and sell the old one, it will be much cheaper and feasible this way |
| Even still, I think you should keep this one, you will likely not gain enough performance to justify this anyway, if you gain performance doing this |
