RE: 820 to 520 Upgrade

Your only regret will be not ordering the day they were announced.
Seriously, it's no contest.

How about tapes; are you changing tape drives?  Even if not, you will
likely see an improvement in save/restore time due to several factors
(faster CPU, more RAM, faster system bus, disk/controllers that are fast
enough to keep the tape drive fed, maybe a new & faster tape
controller).

Our i5 570 saves nearly 4 times faster than our 730 when both are saving
to LTO2.  The 730 is bogged down by the limited throughput of the SPD
bus more than anything else.
