Try moving CPUs as well.  It's not too hard to transplant them in the 
B&W if all the machines are the same clock frequency (if they were 
different speeds, you would have to set jumpers on the motherboards). 
If you've ever changed a PC ZIF socket CPU like a modern 
Athlon/Duron, it's the same operation, except with a much lower 
tension spring clip for the heatsink (which makes it much easier and 
less dangerous).  Just be sure that you put the clip back on 
correctly; if you put it on backwards, the force won't be centered 
over the CPU, which could lead to the heatsink tilting so it doesn't 
contact the CPU well.
