well, i believe you can actually, you'll just have to change a bit more than the CPU.
The casings are the same size right? So screw both computers open and swap the inside
brilliant if i may say so.
now it's like the mcdonalds guys making hamburgers in the lab, should work!

They may look the same on the outside, but the MBP is BIGGER than the PBG4, not to mention ALL of the internals are completely different.

It's a bit harder. The MBP is a bit thinner and a bit wider than the PB. Also, you would need to totally kill everything internally for it to work.

Well, the packages aren't even the same shape and size, so "you can" if you superglue the proc in place.
I agree! Great point, Ryan.ITASOR said:
I mean, crap. Just because he doesn't know the answer to every damn question, doesn't mean you gotta chase 'em off the forums.

Only if you change out the entire machine with a new one. You should post the Powerbook on eBay and give us the auction number.
Max.
All he could do with the 1.5 is get a CPU ugrade on it -- no intel, tho.
What no one wants to say is, like op, we all WISH we could swap 'em out. But then the elegant Apple designs would be ruined because it would be a swappable but butt ugly Dell.
