Thanks for alleviating my concerns. I checked the AppleCare Service receipt and it lists PCBA,MLB,2.4GHZ,REV2 as one of the replacement parts. So I'm guessing that's v2 of the logic board with the new 8600m gt chip on it.
The repair was done back around October last year and I haven't had any problems. The case still gets really hot but after the repairs I went out and got a laptop cooler just in case.
There was always a question in the back of my mind if the chip got replaced or not. But like you said, I haven't seen any repaired MacBook Pro's failing yet. So I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope my MBP can last as long as my still operational PowerMac G4.
