Ah, hello everyone. I have a question for you guys, and I have been wondering about for quite some time.

See, I have a mid-2007 Macbook 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with integrated GMA950. Now, as you all know the GMA950 is absolute ****. But, I have a close friend that has this [http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Core-2-Duo-2-1-GHz-Logic-Board/IF186-069] logic board he can sell to me for a pretty cheap price. I am certainly in no condition to upgrade to a newer Macbook as of yet, so this should hold me over for the time being.

So, I was wondering if it is possible to install it into my Macbook.

Thanks,
Ironglass
 
In a word no....

The logicboard will not fit your bottomcase. You would need a new bottomcase, heatsink, bluetooth board, logicboard battery, speakers, battery connector etc.

Sell you old MacBook and buy a newer one - cheaper and easier..
