I have a model 400-2132. My disk utilization is near 75% so on the way to buying more disk I'm thinking this is a good time to look at buying a whole new machine. (Yes, I have taken measures to reduce what is occupying my disk). My local vendor reccomends going to a 600-2135. This is very nice, and the performance improvement is 68%. The cost of the upgrade, with the increased disk, comes to $40,000. We are a small company and this is a lot of money to my budget. Regardless of the hardware decision, I will be upgrading from V3R7 to V4R3 or whatever they are at by the time I get the money :) The other motivating factor is that right now I am dialing out to the Internet with a SLIP connection. As I understand it, with a V4 operating system I can connect using PPP but only with the new hardware. Another consideration for the decision is that I can't upgrade every year. Maybe next year there will be an even cooler machine that I will want? Anybody have thoughts on what I should do or what additional factors might influence my decision?
