tomnic Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 It's impossible I think... different architectures... you'd replace the entire mobo and processor... It's less expensive buying the new mac mini selling the old one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yea, it would be new logic board and processor but all of the other stuff would remain the same. However, logic boards are currently $350 according to an Apple Authorized Repair Center, and processors very anywhere between $150 and $900 depending on what you want to put in there. So, odds are try to sell your old Mini on eBay for $300 and then buy a new one. It will come out significantly cheaper and you still keep your warranty.
