Theoretically it shouldn't make any difference as they both use the same GPU, but knowing Apple there's probably some subtle difference that makes it impossible to use fit the high res screen.

Maybe... I think this issue needs further research and testing!
Anyway, my hope is that this machine can somewhat more easily handle playing back semi-modern video formats without overheating (as the Titanium does), since it also has an S-Video port. The extra .5 to .67 GHz should also help in this regard; since 1 GHz, given the proper conditions, can play such videos almost flawlessly, then it should be no problem for 1.5/1.67 GHz!

Maybe I can try finding a broken logic board and transplanting the blown chip. It's not terribly likely that any board I get will have the same problem as mine, is it? It's probably just simpler to use it for parts.

Anyway, hopefully I can get the other A1106 tomorrow. Between the two of them, I should be able to make something work. And I've learned a lot by disassembling this broken one.
