(Assuming you are referring to a MacBook Pro.)
All Pre-Unibody MBPs have the potential to have video issues of some
sort. Only two graphics chips were ever used in said MBPs, the ATI x1600
and the nVidia 8600M. The ATI, found in all MBPs up to the 2.2/2.4GHz
models, can develop the issue you're seeing. The nVidia chip used in the
2.2/2.4GHz and faster models has a much higher tendency to fail
altogether, in fact nVidia/Apple has even publicly acknowledged the issue.
So yes, the 2.16 logic board could have issues as well.

To anyone,
I have a 2.0 GHz core duo that has video issues. It will play QT vids
w/ a coloured line across the video, usually of varying widths. It’s a
random thing. I also have issues with the computer ‘flashing’ when
I’m using Google Earth, etc. I’ve recounted the issue before. I have
an opportunity to get a used but tested 2.16 GHz logic board that will
work in my model ‘book. Did the 2.16 logic board have this issue as
well?
