----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I wanted to save the institution some $$ by upgrading several 386 4mgRAM
machines to 486 at least 8mgRAM machines - instead of buying new ones.
Our Info System Manager says that they won't allow that because while it
may save money initially, it causes alot of service problems for their
staff.  How true is this?  Can anyone summarize for me the
pitfalls/benefits of upgrading in this manner?  If you think it's a good
idea, how can I convince the I.S. staff that it is?  Any help will be
appreciated.
