Peter, you easily could if were willing to triple the cost. Fitting that much circuitry into a box the size of a notebook is challenging enough without triyng to be concerned with reuse. So you ask your self would you pay $6000 for an upgradable notebook versus $2000 or just buy another $2000 one when time comes???? Sean

Peter, I read an article on my Micron XKE and the process they use is to fit the pieces together (not unlike layers of shale) and then "bake" it. They use a compound on the connecting points (circutry connection points) that in the "baking" process is designed to create a more pervasive / permanent bond, not a snap / screw design at all. mowa
