[MinnowBoard] Quad Core MinnowBoard Max

[David Anders]

Abhi,

as long as you are using the same memory configuration the quad core 
should work with no issue. please bear in mind that the power supplies 
for the max were design for dual and single core, so there may be other 
issues.

we do plan to offer a quad core version later this year.

i think you will find doing a small batch of the quad core is going to 
be very expensive...
