Well, I'm not sure I'd call it upgrading, since they are completely different
CPUs. Anyway the answer is absolutely not.  The chips aren't anything alike.
It is possible that Hauppauge might come out with a new motherboard that would
allow you to use the newer i860-XP, but it would be a completely new board
rather than just a chip swap.

No, I don't work for Hauppauge and could be completely wrong.
