About This Mac

I might be able to tell you if you do the following:

Click the Apple () Menu button top-left and select 'About This Mac'.
Then click 'More Info...' at the bottom. In System Profiler click 'File', 'Save As...' and save the profile as a plain-text document.

Then paste the sections under 'Hardware' and 'Graphics/Displays' (quite a bit further down the page) in a reply. It should then be clear which parts you've got inside.

It does seem unlikely that they'd change the internals to better parts. It's against Apple's replacement policy, I believe.
