BD has not validated the mentioned CPU upgrade (HP A2244A), however we do
have
an upgrade path for the 310 computers which has been validated and IVD
cleared
using a 332 CPU which is at the same performance level as the 340. Note
however
that the 340's video is standard at 1024x764 resolution, not 640x480, and
the monitor
is either a 16" or 19" depending on the system purchased. Eric does make a
good
point: the software may or may not work on the '040/25 CPU...I would be
interested
in hearing from anyone who who has tried it.
