[cisco-voip] Upgrading 7835 to 7845 - what options do I have?

[Wes Sisk]

should still be recog as a 7835 by a text string in the bios.
7845 install gets Windows advanced server for > 4GB memory addressing.

I'm sorry if I asked this before, but I'm just wondering what upgrade
options I might have if I buy a 7835 now and want to upgrade it to match
7845 specs in the future?

>From what I gather the two systems are exactly the same except for memory,
extra CPU and extra hard disk space. I'd probably buy a spare CPU off the
bat since it would be hard to match later.

If I upgrade at a later time, will the hardware detection disks recognize it
as a 7845 and format the disks and install the image appropriately or will
it sill think it's a 7835? If it only recognizes it as a 7835 is there
something I can switch (software/hardware) to make it be recognized as a
7845?
