    Do all FW have the same motherboards? I am asking because they offer 4 CPU (T9600, T9400, P8600, P8400) that have different TDP.

    If the motherboards are identical, can you buy the cheapest CPU, swap it with the faster one and sell the old one at eBay to safe money? How easy is it to replace the CPU with FW? It doesn't have easy access panel like SZ or Z.
