    No, you cannot change the processor since it is soldered on to the mainboard. The only thing you can hope is that MSI keeps the same PCB for the new dual core's motherboard so you can interchange it.

    Three conditions
    1. You can desolder and resolder the CPU (warranty void)
    2. You are able to obtain the Dual Core Atom
    3. BIOS gotta be updated for the board to recognize the 330

    well i don't might void the warranty since MSI's aftersale service sucks anyway, yea i think the second thing u mentioned is pretty crucial...darn it, u guys probably see me selling my wind pretty soon after 330 come out :D :D
