That's not a very good idea if you ask me...
Does not worth it.

I second. You'd go from 2.4 to 2.5GHz (4%+) and lose 1MB of cache (4->3MB) at the same time. I guess you couldn't see any difference at all. |

It's not about hardware it's about software...
And i'm sure this "upgrade" will not do good.
Newer IOS eats more RAM speed and loops... I've seen it before.

From web: "The Macs that will run macOS Sierra
iMac – all models from late 2009, iMac 10,1 – 17,1
MacBook – all models from late 2009, MacBook 6,1 – 9,1
.........
Which means most devices made prior to 2008 won’t be able to run it.
The ones that fall short…
– macOS Sierra won’t run on –
iMac 4,1 – 9,1
MacBook 1,1 – 5,1
........
Xserve 1,1 – 3,1"
Seems you are up for more serious upgrade  |
