In serious need of a upgrade! logic board question, any advice?
Hello iFixit-ers,
first time here :)
i recently bought a late 2013 13" macbook pro retina and i love it! but I came across a 2006 15.4" MacBook pro with no hdd, battery, or charge cables and swooped it up!
i got a 2.5 sshd 1tb, some chinese battery(will replace later after its up and running) and the oem magsafe. its a 2.33ghz machine with 3gb of ram which is pretty good... total so far is less than 450 which is a steal in my eyes. I want this to be my everyday macbook and make the retina for special uses so it will last longer when i need it in the future.
Now for my question, sorry for the backstory, is it possible to upgrade the logic board so i can get a new graphics card in there? i really like the speed so far especially considering my new solid state hybrid drive, but a new graphics card would be nice....
would it be possible to change the logic board for something newer like in the 2009-2011 range or am i stuck?? Is it even worth it?
one more question, with the current set up can i run yosemite on it? the new hd has no content on it so i was wondering if i could set something up like that?
THANKS :]
Is this a good question?
