2.1 GHz vs 2.4 GHz

[Blueimac]

I have the following specs -
MacBook (13.3 inch Early 2008) (MB402LL/A) Model No. A1181
MacBook 4,1 Intel, Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz
The Intel "Core 2 Duo" (T8100) 45 nm "Penryn" processor includes
two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip.
6GB PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz / 64GB SSD Crucial CT64M225
Running - Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 ​

and was tinkering with the idea of upgrading to a 2.4 GHz logic board, But was also wondering would it really make much of a noticeable difference in performance ?

what can i say, I'm in a small town in Tennessee and very bored right now

Get a new laptop instead of a logicboard.

not an option right now, with christmas coming soon and maybe next year at tax time ..besides i like experimenting and upgrading my Macs

The cost of a new logic board is probably more than the cost of a new (used) MacBook.

I don't believe a logic board would cost $700.00.

On a mbp, it was over 900

iFixit comes close with a staggering $599.95 to purchase a replacement logic board for my 4 year old Macbook.

Depending on the year, model, processor, and size a logic board can run over over $700.

Also, a MacBook can be found for well under $700 depending on where you look.

Yeah, Logicboards are crazy expensive.... stupid really, it could be a lot of fun.

the in and out of it all

iFixit would be the last place that I would shop for parts, the prices are much higher than other sources I've found.

Actually I already found a 2.4 GHz logic board at a great price, Just trying to decide if it would be worth bothering with replacing the one that's in my MacBook now

I've already had to replace the upper case/keyboard because the original one went dead, Upgraded the memory and hard drive.

I would like to add a second internal hard drive, The DVD drive was dead when I bought it and I've already removed it, So the space is ready to be used.

Well then by all means do it, and if you want double the fun, make a thread here, post pics and results. I for sure would love to see that. If I found a board for my MBP, at say... 300USD. I would totally do it
