I've been using such a system for about 2 years (gosh thinking about it its
probably longer - doesn't time fly) with a fairly large range of software
(both games and applications) and I haven't had any problems. The 1040 and
the 520 both use the same boards, so if your upgrade is of the 'buy the bits
yourself and plug them in' form there is no difference at all. I don't know
about the various 'solderless upgrades' but I would suspect there to be no
problem
