Logic Board Upgrade from 1.86 GHz to 2.13 GHz

As the title states, I’m inquiring about whether it is possible for me to upgrade my 1.86 GHz logic board to the 2.13 GHz model.

If so how do I go about finding these parts.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the links! I just picked up the 1.86 ghz model with 2gb of ram from a craigslist ad for $190! Figured with that price I can *upgrade* it myself!

@ctoney - Focus on the SSD it's the better direction to spend on (480GB or 1TB).
