Core Duo/Core 2 Duo MacBook CPU Upgrading

[Jtk0796]

dosdude1,
If I have a macbook 2009 (5,2) with the 2.13, could I upgrade it to a T9900 if I find a BGA479 one ?
Any changes besides reballing that are required to make it work ?

Yeah they have the same bus speed and MCP79 chipset so a T9900 will work

If you can find a source of BGA T9900s let me know, I've been wanting to try this for quite some time but can't seem to get hold of them.
