    Can the cheaper models of the HDX18 that ship with dual cores be upgraded to Quads after the fact? Ignoring questions about warranty and skill for the moment, are the system boards all the same between the various models?

    Anyone have first hand experience with this or a link to info where this has been done?

    Thanks
