I have a question regarding the upgrade process on the Al 15" Powerbooks. Do they use removable socket CPU and CPU units? I am wondering because a friend of mine told me the CPU and such could be upgraded over time if you wanted to. Is that true or false? I know they used to offer upgrading on the earlier Powerbooks but i'm not sure about the new ones. I'm THINKING they are removeable socket type units because I doubt Apple would put permanent units in place if they were to offer upgrade=ablity. It would be too much of a hassle. I'm awaiting my new PB and instead of taking her appart..figured i'd ask here. Maybe some one will know for sure. Anyway thanks in advance.

Judging by some of the available teardown pictures of the 15" AL, I'm going to say these are not upgradeable.
