[Ti] TI upgrade ?

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
