you can if you have the RAM and FLASH space in order to do it. 

it may take a good deal of time because the FSB doesn't run nearly as
fast as regular mother board. Some of the newer thin clients may have
faster FSBs, but the older ones like HP T5720 are a number of years old
and their primary function in life is for appliance users.
