Is there any documentation on how to upgrade these cards from a 040 to a 060 chipset?
Just wondering if its simple to just plug in and out.

You'd need to change the voltage (IIRC the 060 uses a lower voltage (or was it the other way round)) and you would need to desolder the (surface mounted) 040 to replace it with a CPU socket (and resolder that using SMD equipment).

All that with a huge risk of f00king up a valuable BlizzardPPC card. Besides once OS4 for the Blizz is out of beta you're not going to use the 060 anyway.
