    Upgrade 2000 RAM

    I've seen online in a few places that it might be possible to upgrade a MP2000 to a MP2100 though a 4mb ram upgrade.  Is this possible and if so can you point me to any information about it?  I'm assuming this does not include just replacing the mainboard because that would obviously be useless...
