I'm not from Intel, but I'll say that my contact there indicates that
it could be done. Now, DEC is going to making their own PCs, or so they
say, and may not offer the upgrade, or Intel may decide not to offer the
upgrade board for marketing reasons.
I guess the answer is "it could be done, but it may not be."
