Yes, I believe it's ok to change the processor.
	However, the crystal for the clock generator is  o u t s i d e  the 
processor. This means that if you pull out the 8088 and put the V20 in
you will have a V20 running at 4.77 MHz. The V20 will still be faster than
the 8088 though. (Due to a number of boring technical details.) There will
be no problem with the memory.
	If you want to run the V20 at 8 MHz you'll have to change the
crystal also. In this case there might be a memory problem, but as
I haven't got any information about the chip access times I cannot answer
your question.
