[QUOTE="jn4jenny, post: 177617"] That's extremely unlikely. As an earlier poster mentioned, you're talking about a laptop, not a desktop. It is possible to swap chips in, say, the PowerMac G4 (although not very economical given the cost of the new chip!) As far as I know, it's just flat-out impossible for the iBook. I've never, in all my Mac-fan days, heard of someone doing this. People aren't kidding when they're telling you that it'll be more economical to sell your current machine and upgrade to a newer one than to try and replace the logic board inside the current machine. Not only will your machine almost certainly reject a logic board that's not at the right Mhz settings, but that new logic board will cost you upwards of $600-$800 (see [url]www.pbfixit.com[/url] for price reference.) For $600-$800, you could have a G4 iBook with a 1 or 1.33Ghz processor! Seriously, you could dump your machine on Ebay easily and people will snap it right up. Just get rid of your current one and get a newer iBook. [/QUOTE]
