That might be a fun project, but really 2 cores more and having the extra $620, voiding the warranty, then having to sell it, really doesn't seem worth it right out of the box, maybe after I have it and want a speed boost (or after the warranty expires and I have the extra cash laying around)

The processor swap does not void the warranty unless you brake something (which is almost impossible).
