Are RROD replacement units the original, or are they newer design?

Depends I think, though I don't know on what.

I've heard of people getting their original machine back and then I've heard of people getting machines with HDMI ports back when they didn't have one before.

And on a somewhat related and interesting note-- my dev kit RRoD'd yesterday. >_>

Twestern, since you have a dev kit, I have a question for ya.

I have an affinity to use Singletons in my code, but most of the example game code I have seen all use statics instead.  Is there a large enough speed difference for me to change my ways?

 

The best way to find out is to benchmark it yourself. Make two simple equal programs using each approach (as similar as possible otherwise), run a few method calls in a loop with a million iterations and measure the CPU time taken. Most  languages have a way to do time measurements and print the timing out.
