Hello,
I have a question. I have a Pearl 2000, it is a very good console, I have worked with this table for 2 years.
My question is:
"Can I upgrade my 2000 to a 2004, without buying a hole new console"?
Could someone tell me, if it is possbile?
Regards,
Rene

copy/paste from a post from niclights ( USE THE SEARCH pretty pretty please)
They are for the most part identical. There have been various revisions of the motherboard but all will run the latest software. The only requirement being extended memory. You can determine if you have this installed by looking at the LCD display when running - an 'x' after the % free denotes extended memory - ie. 89% xfree.
You may have to upgrade the AVOS before you can burn the new program, but this is included in the installation disk (I think!)
Pearl 2004 has four separate outputs for the four universes, 2000 has two outputs and splits the universes across the 5 pins meaning you simply need a Y-spit to gain access should you require.
The 2004 also has a usb port although currently this is unused.
If you are unsure then contact Avo with the serial number.
perpahs this is something to put in the FAQ from technical support?

It's also worth noting that all Pearls from 0001 are capable of running the 2004 software with the necessary upgrades. For further details about this, please contact the service department.

As stated, all Pearls can run the software including Boris1. You must have extended memory. This is represented in the LCD screen as xfree.
I suggest you contact service either by phone or email to get answers about serial number.
