iMac Core Duo Processor Replacement in 2015

Hey all,

I'm attempting to upgrade my Apple iMac Core Duo 2.0 20 - Early 2006 - MA200LL - iMac4,1 - A1174 - 2105 processor from Core Duo to Core 2 Duo.

I've done the research and it can be done:

iMac Intel 20" EMC 2105 and 2118 CPU Replacement

Is it possible to upgrade its CPU for a Core2Duo ?

questions

- what is the fastest processor it can take without the logic board replacement?

- what is the fastest processor it can take WITH the logic board replacement?

- where can I look this up?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

mayer, thank you very much for the reply.

- so looks like you replaced the logic board and the CPU.

But apparently, if this post is right it's 2.33 will work with the existing iMac 4, 1

Take a look at my previous answer on this: Core Duo CPU upgrade to Core 2 Duo CPU?

The 2.33 GH should work.
