It sure is... only extra part you need is the 060 CPU & holder. AZine, a swedish Amiga mag, had a description about how to do this in the last issue I think. :-D

The move is pritty easy (apart from the removal of 040 CPU) and doesn't need any other components than the CPU and holder, no need for a different crystal unless you aim for overclocking the thing at the same time. Just change position of voltage selector, CPU selector and then flash the card for the 060 CPU (flashupdate-300399.lha on AmiNet) and you're done.

That should explain what's needed to be done. Just remember that these are delicate components and you shouldn't try this unless you know exactly what you're doing. :nervous:
