I fried my video card. Can I upgrade the logic board?

I have no video output from my Mac Mini after a short in a power point adapter. I can access the Mac Mini via screen sharing over the wireless network from my MacBook. I understand that the video card is integral to the logic board and to replace the video card one must replace the logic board. Can I replace my 1.5 Core Solo with a 2 Core Duo? It appears the parts are interchangeable but I'd like to know if anyone has any experience or advice to offer. Here's a link to the part page I am using as reference
