I opened two LCs during the roll-out in Knoxville.  They both had 
self-configuring power supplies.  However, the two motherboards showed 
quite a bit of differences. An Apple System
Engineer told me that these were still preproduction models.

Is it possible that the spec sheet is correct and that they will start 
using single-voltage power supplies to save a few bucks when they go into 
mass production?
