But I just don't see the big deal in having the falcon mobo with the
65nm fab CPU, even if it has those new heatsinks in them now. The
problem is, it's just the CPU in the 65nm fab form, not the GPU as
well and the GPU is the main culprit for all the RROD/overheating
problems associated with the 360.

I doubt if the RROD/overheating problems will significantly reduce
because of the new mobo, the new heatsink and the 65nm CPU. I'm
waiting until the 360s start coming out with the 65nm GPU in them,
which supposedly will be about this time next year.

In the meantime, I'll just have to hope that the new console I got
back from M$ will last me that long. I doubt it though. I'll
probably end up sending it in for another replacement before that.

Yes, it's my understanding that lot #0734 or later will include the
newer chip-set. The manufacturing date should be 8/24/07 or later.

That's not quite correct. LOT #734 or higher is when they started
showing up, but you can still get the old ones in those Lots as well.
I would suggest getting at least LOT #738 or higher to be closer to
100% sure. Even then it's still a gamble, and will continue to be
until the old stock runs out.

Also make sure the console was put together by Team FDOU and not
someone else. None of the others will have the Falcons in them, no
matter what Lot # it may be. This is the reason none of the 360
"Arcade" console versions have the Falcons in them right now, because
they weren't done by Team FDOU. It varies with the Premiums and
Elites, so you just have to check the sticker on the box to see which
Team it came from. They list it right next to the Lot # on the sticker.
