Could i switch from tv tuner to sound card and back in the express card slot depending on what I was doing? Or would that be a bad idea?

I was wondering about the ability to upgrade from yonah to merom as well. Right now I'm using a 1.5ghz P4 desktop with 256mb ram that weighs about 50 pounds, and I'm going to college in the fall, and it seemed like a good time to...
