Cheapest way to do this is to buy a 2300. Seriously. But, go to eBay and look at
prices for 2300s and then go to Powerbookguy.com as well as Sunrem.com and check
their prices for a motherboard alone. You might find a few 2300 logic boards every
now and then on eBay, but I think for the small amount extra you'd pay for the whole
machine you'll be happier. Plus, unless you are really comfortable inside your DUo,
you'll be paying a professional to install the board anyway adding $100 or more to
the cost, you have to take the Duo completely apart, absolutely everything except the
screen must come apart.
