    Sure, it's possible to upgrade - you just have to open up the case and swap CPU's. However, I would not recommend doing this because it voids your warranty. :confused:

    Yeah they are coming on strong. Now available at CircuitCity and elsewhere. I'd upgrade the hard drive and memory. You'll get more bang there and won't void the warranty as mentioned.
