Hope this news isn't too old.
Looks like the heat related problems for the 360 are being acted upon.

The new processor has been mentioned on other threads here recently. It's not old news, but welcome news for 360 fans. I'm pretty there was some press on this in the GAMEINFORMER magazine as well as on the G4 network.

Halo3, Elite, and some premium (pro with hdmi) consoles past lot number 734 or so are supposed to have the Falcon chips. Just recently picked a premium up and got a 731 or so so close but so far

How do I tell what lot number I have with my 360?

Below is a link, that shows how to tell if you have the new cooler running processor.

Also shows how to check the manufacturing date on the console itself, before you buy it.

Darn, I still have the old cpu. I've got an intercooler installed to help keep the heat down, I hope I don't get the ROD. We'll have to see.
