Hello I have got a MacBook Pro 17" unibody from early 2009, equipped with a 2.66 C2D CPU. Mag Safe adapter has 85 watts. I like to know if I can exchange the C2D logic board with a later built i7 logic board (of the A1297 17" unibodies) by simply swap out my C2D board and swap in a i7, let ’s say 2.2 GHz CPU, board, made during 2011? I think it will be a performance increase because of CPU type and RAM speed. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Stone
You can not change model years… but you can upgrade to a faster logic board. If this Answer is helpful please remember to return and mark it Accepted.
