[CUBE] (OT) Installing Processor Upgrades.. PISMO( OT)

[Hal]

I did the PL upgrade on my Pismo last year (to a G4/500). At that time, 
it was necessary to send in the whole computer because they reuse your 
original processor card, and just replace the CPU chip with a faster 
one. They then test the computer to make sure everything is working.
