[Ti] TI upgrade ?

[Carbotron]

I just picked up a beat up(quite, broken topcase and hinges, but most 
everything working nicely) Ghz ti for 450 shipped, and upgraded my 800 
with the mainboard and HDD, the superdrive is very flaky. while i was 
in there i did a few heat path things like new heatsink compound and 
sealing the fan exits to the case and routing the backlight wires 
neater. the other bits are working just fine in the busted up case and 
are making a fine desktop. i'm going to make it into a carbon arm based 
LCD with firewire and bluetooth or usb based peripherals as a 
desktop/art piece. i wiped and carbon copied the 800s drive onto the 
Ghz box and only a few programs needed to be re-registered. sorted!

Hello all,

I just got back my ~ 3 year old 667 (DVI) PowerBook (pb) from the shop 
(weeks before my AppleCare expired).  This book got a new LCD screen a 
couple years ago (again, under AppleCare).  I bumped up the hard drive 
to a 60 gig 5400 rmp (from the original 30 gig 4200 rpm) about 6 months 
ago.  About a year ago, I bumped to RAM to the full 1 gig.  This pb has 
an inboard AirPort card.

This latest AppleCare trip resulted in a new logic board and heat sink 
wire assembly.

I love this pb, it has served me well.  Is there any logic to bumping 
up the logic board to a 1.0 Mhz board?  I've never play with a faster 
processor next to my current 667, so I do not know what I am missing.

Are there any other upgrades I should consider?  My Combo Drive is 
still original (and works fine).  I've thought of bumping that up to a 
after-market SuperDrive, but wonder if a 667 is too slow to mess with 
burning dvds (which I would rarely - if ever - do anyway.  My backup 
system is via a firewire outboard hard drive.)  Is this machine about 
as tricked out as it should ever get?  I have no problem de-soldering 
and soldering components if such upgrades exist (e.g. maybe just faster 
processor?).

Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Brad
