The left one is the eMate's ROM, somebody that is less faint of heart than
me once powered his eMate up without the card in, didn't do any damage,
didn't do him any good either though, my guess is that Apple originally had
the idea of releasing upgrade cards themselves, or a more powerful eMate,
never got an official confirmation on that though.....
The right slot is where you put your upgrade card in.

So no, this one isn't upgraded.

No, don't swap them, and yes, your assumption is on the mark.

Don't remember and don't have the time to open one up right now, in case of
the upgrade it depends on the make.
