Purchased a 13inch MBP 2.26 and considering upgrading to the 2.53. I installed my intel x25 in the 2.26 - will I be able to take it out and just pop it into the 2.53?

Or will I have to reinstall the OS, bootcamp etc.

So going from new 13 in unibody MBP 2.26 to new 13 in unibody MBP 2.53?

Thanks!
 
Should be easy as that.

Yup, no reinstallation is necessary. Should be a simple brain transplant and your OS wakes up in a different body.

I've booted my UniBody MBP and original Core Duo MBP from the same firewire hard disk.

And your 2.26 and 2.53 MBP should use the same 10.5.7 build.
