Swap motherboard with A1226?
I bought a used Macbook Pro A1211 not realizing that not all Core 2 Duos can boot into 64 bit mode. I know that the next models, the A1226 can, and are nearly identical to the A1211. So I was thinking about getting a motherboard for an A1226 and swapping them, but I worry about problems with the few differences such as the display. Does anyone know if this would work?
Is this a good question?

Alternatively, I have been doing some more research and am now thinking a processor swap would be better if it will work. I have seen mentions of this being done in PCs, but they almost always need a BIOS update or something to make it work. Can this be done fairly easily in MacBooks? If so, how much newer can I go?
