Default 2000 Cavalier transmission swap?

I have a 2000 cavalier with a 2.2 ohv engine with a 3 speed automatic transmission What would I have to do to change it to a 4 speed automatic transmission? I have been told that I would have to change the axles and the computer. I'm in the auto salvage bussiness of-sorts parts are no problem. My first thing that I came across is that I have a computer that came out of a 2000 cavalier with the same engine and it had a 4 speed automatic transmission, and all the numbers are exactly the same as Mine? any feed back is welcome.

I'm sorry but I left out some important information, I should have said that I have a 3 speed automatic transmission and would like to install a 4 speed automatic transmission.
