Can I replace a 2.4Ghz with 2.0Ghz to reduce cost?
Black MacBook 2.4GHZ 320GB HD that I purchased and the logic board had a spill on it. I already opened up the laptop and took out the logic board to replace, but I find myself in a bind because most 2.4Ghz processors are a little bit out out what I can afford. Can I replace the logic board with a lesser Ghz processer to cut down my cost?

Actually, you can't. Core Duo and Core 2 Duo lower A1181 casings have slightly different screw locations, so you wouldn't be able to attach the board correctly. I'd have to look, but I believe there are other small differences as well. Also, the inverter cable is different between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo boards, so you'd need a different cable than what you have now. Stick to a Core 2 Duo board in order to avoid issues.
