Uhm!  You most certainly can.  It's just a tad expensive.  It's not a
motherboard swap.  You actually have to BUY a ROM 3 motherboard.  Then it's
up to you or your dealer to put it in.

There's really no reason to go ROM 3.  Buy a larger ramcard or something.
A ROM 1 board is around $380 I believe.  I don't have the price of the ROM
3 board here but it's almost certainly more expensive.  If you don't
outright buy the new board, the dealer will only replace motherboards "like
for like."
