I'd be surprized if it didn't. But they could always solder in
the old chip again - if done properly and the board is cleaned
afterwards it'd be pretty hard to tell it was ever out. Since
they include this in the deal you should be fairly safe.

A bigger risk would be you send it in to IBM for something like
a keyboard repair and IBM swaps out the board with the cpu on
it for whatever reason too - then you're back to the stock chip.
