MacBook Core Duo to Core 2 Duo Logic Board Upgrade
Hi, I was wondering if there are any issues when upgrading from the original Core Duo 1.83 GHz Logic Board to the 1.83 or 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo Logic Boards. The specifications seem to be pretty much the same (same ram, video card, HDD and Optical Drive connectors). I've been reading a about how the later MacBooks switched to the JST style connector. Did they change sensor/connectors between these two motherboards?
Thanks for looking.

Okay, so I'm dredging up this thread after more than five years ... new to the forums and I don't know if anyone will see it, but here goes. I have a black Macbook 1,1 (Core Duo), and nosing around I found this:

It appears to be a non-Energy-Star mobo; the chip next to the airport card connector is labeled 4RT 717S, which matches the non-ES part photo on ifixit but not the ES part. So am I correct in understanding that I can swap in this motherboard and use everything else, including the heat sink, RAM and airport card, from the older Macbook?
I wouldn't want to put a lot of money into the old beast, and with an iMac and an iPad I don't need a lot out of a laptop, but $22 and a few hours of labor seems like a reasonable price to upgrade to Lion and get iCloud compatibility.
