* [[RSX]] replaced with a newer revision. If the new RSX is a smaller revision:
** The voltage regulator is modified as the RSX requires less power

* [[RSX]] replaced with a newer one
** If the RSX is 65nm or 40nm, a sticker is added under the USB ports (40 for 40nm, 65 for 65nm) to indicate. Also the [[Syscon Hardware|Syscon chip]] is replaced (with different programming) so that the PS3 can accept the smaller RSX
