I have a Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz Core Solo with 1gig of ram. I want to upgrade the processor to either a Core Duo ore a core 2 duo.

I am thinking that the Core 2 Duo the prices are really high, what about Core Duos? Can you get them 200 or less. What is the processor name (chip number) should I be looking for?

Will I have fan problems since the firmware isn't set up for a faster processor, even though that's basically what Apple did with the new Minis. Is it really hard to pop that case open with out damaging it?

Thanks for any heads up! :D
