When you finally can spring for it, keep this in mind http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/hardware/is4ha/ Also, I'd consider leasing. Makes it a lot easier to upgrade every x years. And going to the management and saying "We want to get a newer machine, which will give us better performance and allow us to do project xyz because it has this new piece of hardware, and supports this newer software. Cost will be a lease increase of a few bucks a month which may be offset by reduced maintenance." is a lot easier to swallow than that initial purchase price. A lot of management loves leasing for other accounting reasons. For some silly reason they sold our computer building to a leasing company and signed a long term lease on it. Perhaps it's a tax issue, or your Return On Assets (ROA) looks better if you get a building off of your list of assets. Maybe they don't even have to worry about depreciation schedules? Rob Berendt
