    My label states CN-0U8042-... Rev A01 which matches the "serial No." as reported by SiSoft's SANDRA.

    Anyone know how many revisions of the M1330's mobo are out there and, what the major differences are?

    I'm still hoping that I will be able to swap out the processor for a Penryn someday... :)

    God I'm glad I saw this as I looked under my
    batter and it said A00.
    and I just got the damn thing.. so I think send it back, it's old.
    or no?

    Don't trust the the stickers. If your system is making a whine, get it replaced. If not then don't worry about your revision.
