   In both cases, the CPU was a 6502 - one would instead add more RAM,   
   change the ROMs, and swap the sound and video chips. Unfortunately,   
   the circuit board doesn't provide for this.   
   If you switch from one computer to another, you can say "I upgraded   
   from a VIC-20 to a Commodore 64"; but if you say "I upgraded my VIC-20   
   to a Commodore 64", you are implying that the upgrading is something   
   you are doing to the computer itself.   
   I understood what you really meant, I was just pointing out that you   
   weren't saying what you meant.
