40GB PS3 just a matter of time?

you know we have all been speculating its a new 40 gig, but what if its just a motherboard redesign to save money, still have to go to the fcc for that ( I hate the FCC just as a side note).

remember how many motherboard layouts the ps2 and one went through

First of all, are you sure that a motherboard redesign requires a reinspection (class 2 blah whatever) and a new model number?

Second, what about the apparently reduced number of ports in the new model? 2 instead of 4 in that diagram. I know it's just a diagram of the testing apparatus, but they probably have to use all available ports if they want fully test the PS3...
