Editing About This Mac
This infomation is stored in "AboutThisMac.strings" in "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/"
Make a backup copy of this file and open it up. Find:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";
and change it to what you want it to show for example:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "AMD Athlon X2 5000+ 2.6Ghz";
or for a laugh:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Cyrix 6x86 PR 133+ 110MHZ";
Editing Apple Logo on About This Mac
The logo is located in "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources" as "MacOSX.tif". Back this file up and replace it with your own using the same name. Use Disk Utility or Terminal to fix permissions.
