People,

We are looking at upgrading our leased 820 to a leased  810.
We would doubling memory from 1.25 gb to 3.0 gb, and doubling CPW from
370/35 to 750/750.
A total reduction in monthly lease/maintenance costs of $200-$300 is
being quoted by our business partner. 

Current performance is NOT an issue, and we do not foresee the addition
of more than a few additional users in the near (1 year) future.
We are going to start using Websphere Development Studio shortly, but
don't know what kind of performance hit, if any, that will entail.

Can anyone give me some insight or reason why this would NOT be a good
option AT THIS TIME?
 
Thanks in advance,

Tim Kredlo

Pss. We are VERY happy with our current business partner
