That was kind of my thinking (granted I am not a computer guru but I do know a few things). I was also thinking I could disable one of the CPU's (which I think is an option since it does boot to the apple logo but just hangs there) and just run a single core which I have helped a friend out with

no, no, no, and no. (i think that's enough nos.) the 1.8 and 2.0 models had different mobo clock speeds. you cannot swap a 1.8 for a 2.0. furthermore, if you replace one processor, sot only does it have to be the same clock speed, it must be with a processor that is identical to the other.

I just need to get my hands on it and see what will happen when I do the firmware command and run with a single processor, and as for switching the processor I will just go the route of new dual's with same model number if above doesn't work and for the thermal calibration I do have my hands on
