  This is one of the Intel boards that they used.  The answer is that
there is no upgrade available (probably) without trying to find an
overpriced overdrive unit.  Best to swap the motherboard.

   If you want more details get him to write down the full string that
appears on bootup, and starts '1.00.00.' followed by numbers and
letters.  This will tell me which unit it actualy is.  The string
appears about 1/3 down the screen.

   Regards,
         Harry.
