It makes me happy that people (so far) have the ability to swap out cpu's as they wish. If nothing else, it helps defend against the closed box perspective that people have of macs.

It looks as though the Intel chip can be swapped out in the Mac Mini. XtremeSystems.org documented an upgrade of a 1.5 GHz single core mini to a 2.16 GHz Dual Core. Very cool news.
